Pathankot terrorists entry from Punjab border a conjecture:BSF

NEW DELHI: The BSF today said the exact area from where terrorists who attacked the Pathankot IAF base infiltrated is still a matter of “conjecture” and that there was no direct evidence of a breach in the security system along the Indo-Pak border.

Minister of State for Home Hansraj Gangaram Ahir had yesterday said in a written reply in Lok Sabha that “four Pakistan-based terrorists entered Punjab via Janial road, Dhusi turn, near Ravi river bridge, Gulpur Simli village- Akalgarh and attacked airforce station in Pathankot.”

Border Security Force chief K K Sharma said there are many “variables” on the border, marked by riverine gaps and other unguarded patches and Pathankot could be one of those.

“That is still a matter of conjecture. It is suspected they came from this area (as mentioned in the Minister’s reply)… But there is no direct evidence of a breach (of the border fence),” he said.

The DG added that due to riverine areas and other gaps in the undulating terrain on the border, it is “not possible to erect a fence” everywhere. (AGENCIES)
