Four Pakistani Terrorists Intercepted By Indian Army Along Line Of Control

Four terrorists have been intercepted by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir police along the Line of Control in the Poonch sector, while they were trying to infiltrate into India.

They were attempting to cross the fence, when they were intercepted, officials said. Officials further added that the Army and police recovered some weapons, war-like stores, including one IED and narcotics from the terrorists.

Further, one Indian soldier was injured in the firing and has been evacuated, the PRO Defence said.

The development comes in the backdrop of the Indian Intelligence Bureau sounding a warning that the ISI may look to infiltrate more terrorists into India. There has been a tight vigil along the border with Pakistan as there were reports that terrorists would look to disrupt the G20 meet that was held in Srinagar last week. India had told Pakistan that there would be repercussions if terrorists from the country tried to create trouble during the summit.

Security has been tightened across the Line of Control, with reports stating that the ISI has moved several terrorists to forward areas. Information about the same was picked up by the Indian agencies after it was learnt that several launch pads had come up near the Line of Control.

The IB report said that nearly 10 to 20 terrorists are awaiting orders from their handlers to infiltrate and they were at the Neelam Valley, Jhelum Valley and the leaf of Valley along the Line of Control.

Vigil has been upped along the border and a close watch is being kept at all times, an official tells OneIndia. The source also said that the Army and ISI would look to cause trouble in Jammu and Kashmir in a bid to shift focus from the ongoing problems in Pakistan.

There is not just a political tussle on in Pakistan, but the country also faces a severe economic crisis. The country is also facing a major problem of terrorism apart from people hitting the streets and wrecking havoc in the aftermath of Imran Khan's arrest.
