200 ultras waiting to cross over to India: Army

Nearly 200 militants are waiting to cross over to Jammu and Kashmir from across the border but elaborate measures are in place to thwart any such attempt, Army said today.
"Almost 200 militants are waiting just across the LoC to cross over to this side," General Officer Commanding (GOC) 16 Corps, Lt Gen D S Hooda, said.
Some 20-30 militant training camps are located close to the LoC but elaborate measures are already in place to foil any infiltration attempt, he said.
"There is a high-level of alertness along the LoC in the wake of threat of infiltration," Lt Gen Hooda told reporters here.

Asked about reports on the presence of Chinese Army in PoK, he said "there is development work going on the other side. We do not have any information that there are people from the Chinese Army there".
On the impact of upcoming general elections in Pakistan on the Kashmir situation, the army officer said "we do not know what is going to happen, what type of dispensation is going to come? It is too early to say. But, from our side we have kept a high-level of alertness.
