Pakistan will try to infiltrate more terrorists into J&K in view of Ladakh standoff: DGP
JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Dilbag Singh
on Thursday warned that Pakistan will try to infiltrate more terrorists
and also give impetus to violence in the Kashmir Valley and elsewhere
in view of the standoff between the armies of India and China in Ladakh.
The
Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, Thursday chaired a
high-level meeting of officers to review the security scenario of the
union territory particularly on the borders.
Cross-border
infiltration attempts are being made continuously from Pakistan even
during the pandemic and we have to be extra alert to thwart such
attempts, he said.
There are over 300 terrorists at launching pads
along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir ready to infiltrate into the union
territory to increase the pitch of violence in the Valley, according to
reports.
"In view of the Ladakh standoff, Pakistan will try to
infiltrate more terrorists and also give impetus to violence in Kashmir
Valley and elsewhere", Singh told the meeting here.
He said the border alongside Pakistan needs extra attention in view of the Ladakh developments.
The
DGP said there are reports that terrorist outfits in Pakistan -
Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
and others - are joining hands to create mischief in Jammu and Kashmir.
He
also said there are greater challenges of infiltration for which we
have to be prepared in the changed environment. He directed the officers
to take care of the vital installations and also review minority
guards.
Singh also said the security presence on the highway grid
has been increased by putting in service mobile patrols and the number
of nakas has also been increased.
He said personnel of police,
central paramilitary forces and Army are continuing with successful
operations in counter insurgency grid and on the borders.
