The top Army commander of north Kashmir, Major General Virendra Vats, recently said that Pakistan has stepped up pushing terrorists into India. He said that the terror launch pads across the LoC were full and there could be close to 300 terrorists waiting to infiltrate into India.
Army chief MM Naravane has stressed for zero tolerance against Pakistan’s attempts to infiltrate terrorists.
Pakistani troops have for some time past been targeting with mortars villages on the Indian side of the LoC in a bid to infiltrate terrorists. J&K DGP Dilbag Singh toured the border areas to take stock of the security scenario and further strengthen the anti-infiltration grid.
