| Indian Army aware of exact location of 12 launch pads of Pak terrorists | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 26: The Indian Army has said that 12 terrorist launch pads have been set up along the border, and has revealed that it knows the exact location of these set ups.
According to sources, some of these launching pads are in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), while some are in Jammu.
An official in the Ministry of Defence confirmed the news, adding that intelligence agencies are constantly monitoring the movement of terrorists. "We know how many terrorists are on an average present in each launch pad. These terrorists are prepared, thanks to the Pakistan Army and try and infiltrate into India's terrirory," the official added.
The launch pads are located in places such as Machal and Uri that are common points where the Indian Army encounters terrorists trying to infiltrate the border. DNA has the entire list of launch pads, but chooses not to publish them keeping national security in mind.
Last week, Pakistani troops slit the throat and gouged out the eyes of a Border Security Force jawan along the international border in Ramgarh sector of Jammu, the frontier force said. The incident may further strain the relations between the two countries.
Head Constable Narender Kumar, 50, was part of the BSF patrol which had been sent to the site on Tuesday morning to clear out a thick undergrowth of elephant grass, or sarkanda. He went missing around 10.40 am when Pakistan's Chenab Rangers opened unprovoked fire at them.
Kumar's mutilated bullet-riddled body was recovered from the area by a search party after nine hours. The throat had been cut open and the eye sockets hollowed out. The wounds had oozed blood.
Constable Kumar, a native of Thana Kala village of Sonipat in Haryana, had joined the BSF in 1990. He is survived by wife Santosh Devi and sons Mohit Kumar and Ankit Kumar.
The torturous killing has evoked a sharp reaction from within the armed forces, and soldiers are calling on the Centre to snap ties with Pakistan.
"Time has come to cut off all ties with Pakistan," said Anil Gaur, a defence analyst who served the Army as a captain. |
