"There are reports that the militants are trying to revive routes of infiltration in Rajouri and Poonch border districts and also of ceasefire violations there", Inspector General of Police (IGP), Jammu Zone, Dibagh Singh told reporters here.

"There have been several attempts of infiltration in the past and also ceasefire violations in Rajouri-Poonch belts. Any infiltration attempt in this regard would be dealt with effectively on the ground along the border. There is a threat of militancy along the Moghal road", the IGP said after reviewing the security and crime situation of Jammu region at a high level police officers meeting here.

"As far as Moghal road is concerned, security is put in place from Kashmir and Jammu sides and no militants after infiltrating can travel on it", he said.

"The security grid along the border line is strong...If there is any threat in this regard the border security set up is put in place to deal with it", Singh said.

Asserting most of the militants from Jammu and Kashmir were trained in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), he said they could be pushed into the state from across the border.

"They (Kashmiri militants) are fully trained. They can be pushed from across the LoC to this side", the IGP said to questions about ultras from across the LoC infiltrating into Jammu and Kashmir.

He also said that the crime rate in Jammu region has shown downward trend and security situation is good, he said.
