Militants gearing up to enter India: Security officials | A large number of militants are ready to enter the country from various points along the international border and the Line of Control (LoC), security officials claimed here on Tuesday. There have been infiltration efforts, but the security forces have deterred most of them, said Raman Shrivastava, the Director General (DG)
of the Border Security Force (BSF). Infiltration was bound to rise before the
snow blocked the mountainous passes, he added. Shrivastava was speaking on the
wreath ceremony of BSF Deputy Inspector General (DIG) O P Tanwar who was killed
in a blast in the Ramgarh sector of Samba here on Monday. "We have inputs from
various sources about large number of militants waiting at different points along
the entire international border and the Line of Control and different launch pads
in Pakistan. The entire borders are alerted; the Army is alerted on the LoC, BSF
is also there at the LoC. We are trying to prevent this infiltration because there
will be a surge in infiltration before the snow closes the passes for winter.
Therefore we know they are going to try, they have tried, and at many places we
have repulsed them," said Shrivastava. India and Pakistan have gone to war twice
over the Loc divided Kashmir. Pakistan has always refused its involvement in backing
up the anti-India insurgency that has claimed more than 47,000 lives since 1989. |
