| LoC chinks showing | | Family enters 10 KMs deep | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Sept 26: How effective is barbed wire fencing along the Line of Control in preventing infiltration when kids and aged people can cross un-noticed?
A family of 12 people, including five children and an old lady, crossed over the LoC in the wee hours of today in Tanghdar area in Karnah sector of North Kashmir.
The 12 people, which included an eight-month old toddler, reached the police post, located 10km away from the LoC, and presented themselves, sources in the state home department said.
They have been detained and appropriate action will be taken against them as some of them are Pakistani citizens, the sources said, adding the matter had been taken up with the Army authorities.
The Army maintains the family had reported to their outpost, a charge denied by the police.
The family, in its statement to police, said they had migrated to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir between 1988 and 1996 and settled there after marriage.
The police had also reported the matter to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office and the Pakistani citizens would be served a notice, they said. |
