Infiltration Bids Up Post Bifurcation

Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai today acknowledged the positive role of Border Security Force (BSF) in manning the borders, even as chief of the force VK Johri said infiltration bids from across the border have intensified following the government’s decision on Article 370, and reorganization of erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing the troops and officers of the BSF on its 55th Raising Day event here, Rai said, “Recent decisions (abrogation of special provisions under Article 370) have led to positive developments in Jammu-Kashmir, but anti-national forces want to create trouble in the Kashmir valley.”
Terming the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir and the International Border (IB) along Jammu and Punjab “highly sensitive”, Johri said, terrorists were making efforts to infiltrate into India, but almost every such attempt was being thwarted.
