Gen. Minimah who  commended the troops for their resilience in the ongoing offensive  against the terrorists, also assured them that all necessary efforts were being made  to ensure that  troops did not lack any requirement that is considered vital to accelerating  the success of the mission.He however warned against any form of indiscipline  or mishandling  of equipment available for the  operation at the moment.
