The army has stepped up vigil along the LoC to thwart infiltration attempts from across the border before the ensuing winter, an army officer said here Sunday.
Speaking on the sidelines of a sports event here Sunday, Lieutenant General Om Prakash, General Officer Commanding 15th corps, said: ‘The enemy has been trying to increase infiltration bids from across the borders in autumn months before the mountain passes get blocked due to heavy snowfall each winter.’ ‘I assure you that our troops are always alert to thwart such infiltration bids,’ added Lt Gen Prakash, who is also the security advisor to the state govt.
The GOC also said that domination of areas through increased patrolling in vulnerable areas was being undertaken to provide overall security to the elected village heads.
