Jammu:
There has been no infiltration from across the Line of Control (LoC)
in Jammu and Kashmir so far this year due to the heightened vigil
of troops along the border with Pakistan, an army officer said
Saturday.
General Officer Commanding of 16 Corps, Lt. Gen. J.P. Nehra said
that there were approximately 400 terrorists waiting across the
LoC to sneak into India, but they have not been able to succeed so
far.
"It is because our troops are vigilant on the LoC, they are
equipped with sophisticated equipments that enables them to see
clearly even during the bad weather or during night," Nehra told
reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
He said the army has set up a "multi-tier anti-infiltration grid
along the LoC, which also has served as a crucial factor in
checking infiltration".
Although there has been no activity from across the border after
the July 13 Mumbai blasts, Nehra said, "if they do so, they will
get a befitting answer".
The officer added that as per the army's information, there are 42
terrorist training camps across the LoC.
