| Infiltration from across picks up, hundreds waiting on launching pads | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Apr 10
With the assistance of professional guides, agencies across the border have already succeeded in pushing into Jammu and Kashmir more than five groups of militants, each group comprising about 20 youth equipped with highly sophisticated weapons, in recent days.
Official sources confirmed today that most of the groups sneaked into the Kashmir valley from across Kupwara and Bandipore sectors. In addition to this, several hundred militants had been brought on the launching pads across Poonch, Rajouri, Tangdhar, Gurez, Bandipore and Kupwara sectors awaiting signals from their guides for infiltrating into Jammu and Kashmir.
Sources said that those militant groups already operating in Jammu and Kashmir and those being pushed into the state have been asked to lie low for another three to four months so that they were ready to give teeth to the ongoing Jehad by disrupting the ensuing Assembly poll. The hardliners, headed by Syed Ali Shah Geelani, have already given a call to people to boycott the elections which also have been endorsed by number of militant outfits.
Security forces have been asked to remain alert to foil any rebel attempt at disrupting the Assembly poll. Senior Army functionaries have renewed their contact with village heads and other prominent citizens in areas where the Army pickets had been removed and in case there was need the troops would be reallocated.
Sources said that militants have been asked by agencies across the border to carve out hideouts and bases in areas which had been earlier sanitized by the security forces. Another instruction given to them is that they should avoid coming in direct contact with security forces and during strikes bank on grenade and IED explosions. |
