We study the generic resolution of strong singularities in loop quantizedeffective Bianchi-IX spacetime in two different quantizations - the connectionoperator based `A' quantization and the extrinsic curvature based `K'quantization. We show that in the effective spacetime description witharbitrary matter content, it is necessary to include inverse triad correctionsto resolve all the strong singularities in the `A' quantization. Whereas in the`K' quantization these results can be obtained without including inverse triadcorrections. Under these conditions, the energy density, expansion and shearscalars for both of the quantization prescriptions are bounded. Notably, boththe quantizations can result in potentially curvature divergent events ifmatter content allows divergences in the partial derivatives of the energydensity with respect to the triad variables at a finite energy density. Suchevents are found to be weak curvature singularities beyond which geodesics canbe extended in the effective spacetime. Our results show that all potentialstrong curvature singularities of the classical theory are forbidden inBianchi-IX spacetime in loop quantum cosmology and geodesic evolution neverbreaks down for such events.
