According to DGMO, they don't have record of any surgical strike done in the past. The Directorate General of Military Operations of the Army does not have records of any "surgical strike" conducted before September 29, 2016. Responding to an RTI application filed by PTI, the DGMO at the Integrated Headquarters of the Defence Ministry (Army) said a "surgical strike" was carried out on September 29, 2016. "This section does not maintain records of any other surgical strikes, if any conducted earlier," the reply said. The RTI application with the Defence Ministry also sought the definition of the term "surgical strikes" in the records of Indian Army.
