Days after India's counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar, Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is slated to travel to the country on June 18 for a two-day visit, reports IBN Live on June 12.
During his visit, Mr Doval is expected to focus on identifying leaders of the insurgent group, Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland - Khaplang (NSCN-K), who are operating in Myanmar.
This comes at a time when reports suggest that the Indian Army's offensive in Myanmar wasn't as successful as it was initially made out to be.
According to reports, only seven bodies of insurgents have been recovered so far and at least 40 members of the NSCN-K, including a senior leader, are believed to have fled the camp before the Indian Army made its strike.
The Indian Army had claimed that 20 militants were killed in the offensive on two camps in Myanmar.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Indian government sounded high security alert across the northeastern part of the country following reports that some NSCN-K militants had sneaked into the Indian territory to carry out a revenge attack.
