200 to 300 terrorists active in J&K: DGP

AMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Dilbagh Singh on Sunday said 200 to 300 terrorists are active in the state and Pakistan has intensified cross-border firing to push in as many of them as possible before the onset of winter.

He also said a large number of terrorists had managed to sneak into the state from across the border recently even as the counter-infiltration grid scuttled various attempts by eliminating infiltrators.

"The number of active terrorists (in Jammu and Kashmir) is between 200 to 300 ... the figure usually does not remain static and goes up and down," director general of police Singh told reporters during a visit to the border district of Poonch to review the security situation.
