Jammu: As many as 400 terrorists are currently in launching pads across the Line of Control (LoC). They are waiting to sneak into Jammu & Kashmir during the winters. Their wait has been prolonged after a tight anti-infiltration grid frustrated attempts by Pakistan to push them into the Indian side. A top police official said that Pakistan is trying to infiltrate terrorists along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir. This move comes even though most areas being covered by heavy snow. 

There have been reports of infiltration by 44 terrorists in 2020 as compared to 141 in 2019, they said. In 2018, 143 terrorists manage to infiltrate into J-K. Rattled by the success of India's anti-infiltration grid with the blocking of several key routes, the Pakistan Army carried out 5,100 ceasefire violations in 2020, the highest since the 2003 truce came into effect, in its attempt to push in more terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir under the cover of mortar shelling and firing, the officials said.

"There are 300 to 415 terrorists in various launching pads in Pakistani Occupied Kashmir (PoK) along the LoC ready to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir to disturb peace and normalcy by engineering violence," an official said. While 175-210 terrorists are in launch pads along the LoC on the other side of the north of Pir Panjal (Kashmir valley), there are 119-216 terrorists opposite to the LoC area south of Pir Panjal (Jammu region), they said. This year, they are also trying to infiltrate terrorists into J-K even during the months of heavy snowfall.
