Asserting that there are 200 to 300 militants camping on the other side of the LoC to infiltrate into the state, a senior Army official has said it is not easy for terrorists to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir in view of strong vigilance and surveillance.
"I want to tell you people that there is strong vigilance and surveillance along LoC... Also men deployed. It will not be easy to infiltrate to this side," General Officer Commanding (GOC), 16 Corps Lt Gen D S Hooda told reporters on the sidelines of a function in Poonch district yesterday.
"According to (Intelligence) information there are 200 to 300 terrorists opposite to Jammu region," he said, adding that their attempt is to infiltrate from across and to resort to terror activities here (in J&K).
