Security forces have stepped by vigil amid intelligence reports that as many as 170 terrorists are ready along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to infiltrate into India.
Despite the ongoing ceasefire between India and Pakistan, as many as 170 terrorists are camped in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as they look for an infiltration opportunity. Amid reports of Pakistan's intelligence agency (ISI) planning to carry out hybrid and narcotics attacks in India, the Border Security Force (BSF) has stepped up security along the LoC.
Recently, there were reports of weapons being sent from Kashmir to Punjab via drones and through tunnels. These activities have raised alarm among the security forces.
India Today team observed the Army and BSF personnel in action as the vigil has been increased along the border. As India Today team went patrolling with BSF personnel in Baramulla sector, more information was gleaned about the terrorists’ nefarious plots along the LoC.
According to the BSF and Army personnel, there is strong intelligence input that Lashkar terrorists are constantly looking for infiltration opportunity with the help of Pakistan Army. To help the terrorists, Pakistan’s border action team has reportedly been trying to target the Army and BSF personnel. The ISI and the Pakistan Army are reportedly giving training to several dozen terrorists of Lashkar, Jaish, and those from Afghanistan.
In PoK area, about 80 terrorists have returned from Afghanistan.
