Shinde to visit Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday

Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde Monday said he will visit the Samba sector of the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir Tuesday following ceasefire violations by Pakistan.

"I am going to Samba sector on (Oct) 22 to see the situation," Shinde said Monday.

Several incidents of violation of ceasefire have been reported from the Samba sector recently.

The home minister also said that firm steps are being taken to control infiltration.

"We have lots of information of infiltration attempts, but the way government of India has been taking firm steps against terrorism, they are not able to infiltrate deep," Shinde said.

 

"There are a few spots from where they enter, our posts are keeping an eye on such areas," he said.

Sunday night, 13 posts of the Border Security Force (BSF) were targeted by Pakistani fire.
