Over 300 terrorists in launch pads across LoC, 240 active in hinterland: DGP

Over 300 terrorists are present in launch pads across the LoC in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok), waiting to infiltrate into the Indian side, Jammu and Kashmir's director general of police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said on Tuesday.

He said that there was a high degree of vigilance by the security grid to foil Pakistan's design of pushing terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir.

"We have a fairly big number of terrorists who are waiting across that side to be pushed into Jammu and Kashmir. There are already around four incidents of infiltration in Kashmir valley and two to three such attempts have been made in Rajouri-Poonch area," he told PTI in an interview at the police headquarters.

Expressing concern over it, DGP said that Pakistan's ISI, Army and other agencies are very active and trained terrorists are ready in launch pads.

"The approximate number (of terrorists in launching pads along LoC in PoK) on Kashmir side is 150 to to 200 and on this side (Jammu region), it is between 100 to 125 as per the latest assessment of our agencies", he said.

The police chief said that four groups of terrorists have been able to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir
On the infiltration attempts, he said, "The summer grid is working actively on both sides. I think we will be watching developments very closely."
