60 Militants Infiltrate Into J&K

Inputs with Indian Intelligence agencies suggest around 60 trained militants have infiltrated from Pakistan into Jammu and Kashmir over the past two months. There is a high possibility of three to four infiltration attempts within this week mostly along the Line of Control in north Kashmir — Keran, Uri and adjoining sectors, the inputs indicate.
An alert has been sounded due to the impending festival season that starts with Navaratras (from September 29) and ends two weeks after Diwali (October 27).

Over the past two months, infiltrations have taken place on both sides of the Pir Panjal mountain range that segregates the Valley from the Poonch-Jammu region, sources said. Initial estimates of infiltrations were lower, however, the multi-agency centre (MAC), which collates data and inputs from human intelligence, radio intercepts and other sources, has arrived at a figure of 60 infiltrations over the past two months.
