Srinagar: An infiltration bid by terrorists was successfully foiled along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector on Friday in a joint operation led by the Indian Army. Numerous inputs were earlier received from multiple Intelligence agencies regarding terrorist groups planning and intending to infiltrate across Line of Control in Uri sector. Based on these inputs, the surveillance and counter-infiltration grid was reviewed and strengthened.
In the wee hours of April 5, along the bushes close to Line of Control the army patrol spotted a group of terrorists moving towards the Line of Control. The security forces continuously tracked the hostile movements and established contact resulting in heavy exchange of fire. While the operation was under progress, intermittent fire was also drawn from Pakistan forward posts, in the vicinity of the line of control.
The operation resulted in neutralisation of two terrorists and recovery of two AK rifles, three magazines, four hand grenades, ammunition and other war-like stores.
The infiltration bid by terrorists indicates desperation on part of Pakistan to fuel unrest in the peaceful Kashmir valley at a time when the general elections have been scheduled and the democratic process is unfolding.
This operation is a testimony to the synergy between various security and intelligence agencies who are committed to ensure peace and tranquillity in Kashmir.
I’m continually impressed by your work.
