Pak Infiltration

Four terrorists who tried to infiltrate into India via the International Border in Jammu last night were aided by the Pakistani Army, which had set one of its posts ablaze to divert the attention of Indian surveillance equipment, sources said.

Border Security Force (BSF) officials have arrested a 30-year-old Pakistan national, for infiltrating the border illegally, in Bhuj, officials said on Saturday.

Pakistan is making full efforts to infiltrate foreign terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir to hinder the progress being made in internal security conditions in the region, Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi said on Wednesday.

The Border Security Force will run Operation Alert from August 11 to August 17 along the India-Pakistan International Border to thwart infiltration and smuggling attempts in view of the Independence Day.

The infiltration levels in Jammu and Kashmir have declined, but Pakistan is keeping terrorism alive and using technology to send weapons and drugs into India through drones, the centre told parliament on Tuesday.

Three armed Pakistani intruders were shot by security forces when they attempted to sneak into the Indian side from across the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, Army said on Saturday.

Security forces today foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri sector, officials here said.

The Border Security Forces (BSF) on Wednesday intercepted a drone infiltrating from the Pakistan side by opening fire at it.

The dropping of the weapons and ammunition took place around 2:30 am. The "infiltrating rogue" drone was fired upon by our troops and later during search of the area a packet was recovered from the field, a BSF spokesperson said.

Drone-mounted ground penetration radars have been deployed for the first time by the BSF to check for the presence of underground tunnels used by terrorists to infiltrate the India-Pakistan International Border in Jammu region.

Two armed Pakistani intruders were shot dead by the Border Security Force (BSF) in two separate incidents along the India-Pakistan international border in Punjab on Tuesday morning, officials said.

The recovery of sophisticated weapons like AK 74u, which is a short carbine variant of the AK 74 rifle, was made when security forces received information that Pakistani handlers were trying to push terrorists into the Valley.

A Pakistani intruder was killed and another arrested on Tuesday as the BSF foiled their separate attempts to infiltrate into this side from across the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir, a spokesperson of the border guarding force said.

On repeated attempts by Pakistan to smuggle weapons and narcotics into Indian territory using drones, he said it was a challenge and the BSF had taken several measures to counter the threat.

A senior army officer on Wednesday said that the change of guard in Pakistan is an "internal matter" of that country, asserting that the Indian troops are in full control to ensure no infiltration takes place.
