| Suspicious movement detected along the LoC, searches underway | | | Early Times Report
BARAMULLA, Sept 20: A suspicious movement was detected along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Uri area of this north Kashmir district on the intervening night of September 18-19, said officials.
However, it is learnt from the sources that the exact area where the suspicious movement took place in Uri is still not known.
It is also learnt that internet and mobile phone services have been suspended in the Uri sector near the Line of Control after an infiltration attempt was made by a heavily-armed group of militants.
The army said a counter-infiltration operation has been underway for the last over 30 hours, adding reinforcements have been called in and a large area has been cordoned off.
According to the army, this is the second infiltration attempt this year. A senior army officer has said that there has been no ceasefire violation this year and no instigation from across the border, said sources while quoting the official.
“No ceasefire violation this year. We are prepared for any ceasefire violation. But frankly there has been no instigation from across the border,” a top army officer has said.
“On infiltration, there have been some attempts, unlike previous years. There was hardly any successful attempt. As per my knowledge, only two attempts have succeeded. One was neutralised in Bandipore. We are looking for the second one,” the army official said.
“There is an operation which is ongoing for the last 24 hours in Uri, in which we felt that there is an infiltration attempt which has been made. We are looking for them. Are they on this side or gone back after making an attempt, that issue has not been clarified or verified on the ground. But we are quite alert and we will ensure minimal infiltration takes place,” he added.
