Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 19: Alert troops of the Indian Army on Wednesday foiled an infiltration bid on the Line of Control (LoC) in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
Officials said that alert troops posted along the forward positions on the LoC in the sector noticed suspicious movement from the Pakistan side.
The suspected infiltrators were engaged in sustained gunfire exchanges, forcing them to withdraw. A search operation is now going on in the area to ensure that no terrorist manages to cross over into the Indian side of the LoC,” the officials said.
This latest infiltration attempt proves the intention of terror outfits assisted by the Pakistan Army to push terrorists into the Indian side before the mountain passes are closed by the snowfall this winter, the officials said. |
