SRINAGAR, Oct 26: Asserting that infiltration attempts from across the Line of Control (LoC) increase every year before the closure of the passes due to heavy snowfall in winter, a senior security force official today said that Border Security Force (BSF) and Army were working in synergy to foil any attempts by militants to cross over to this side.
“Around September every year, Pakistan violates ceasefire and tries to infiltrate militants into this side before the passes closed due to heavy snowfall. But, all the infiltration attempts have been foiled by Army and BSF,” Inspector General (IG) BSF Abhinav Kumar told reporters on the sideline of a function here on Saturday.
He said troops along the LoC are on high alert to foil any attempts by militants to infiltrate. “Army and BSF are working in close coordination in the border areas to counter any infiltration attempt by militants,” he added.
