Army says more infiltration likely
Sources said that there are still six to seven terror launch pads in the PoK along the LoC north of the Pir Panjal range.
New Delhi: The Army is expecting more infiltration attempts by terrorists in next one-and-a-half months despite destruction of launch pads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) through targeted shelling.
“Before snow closes the paths in mountains along the Line of Control (LoC) we are expecting more attempts by terrorists to intrude into India,” said a senior Army official.
“We were expecting Pakistan trying to up the terrorist flow after the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meeting early this month. Now with Pakistan getting time from FATF, it will go back to its old game,” said sources. Pakistan has got reprieve from Financial Action Task Force till February 2020.
Sources said that there are still six to seven terror launch pads in the PoK along the LoC north of the Pir Panjal range.
“The number of launch pads is dynamic. These are makeshift structures where 10-15 terrorists are kept by their handlers before trying to push them into India,” said a source.
