New Delhi, Oct 1: The planning and the execution of the surgical strike across the Line of Control (LoC) by the Indian armed forces could not have been better. There was always this concern that the enemy would get wind of the operation and to hoodwink them was a major task.

While the entry point for the Commandos of the 4 Para Special Forces had been decided, army choppers flew extensively in other parts of the border. This was done with a view of confusing the enemy and making them believe that an operation was underway in the areas where the chopper movement was seen.
