JAMMU, Dec 15: Union Home Ministry's claim that militants stay in the Rangers' forward posts, before making attempts to infiltrate into the Indian territory, gets strength from this development: Nowadays hostile voices, may be of the Pakistani Rangers, or their "guest" militants, are heard on the wireless sets of policemen posted in the areas close to International Border (IB) here.
Police sources said when the border cops switch on their wireless sets, militants come on the line and start conversing with them, often asking them about their "well-being" and the situation on this side of the border.
"When the cops enquire from them how many militants are camping there in the forward posts of the Rangers, they either ignore the queries or shower abuses on them following which the cops prefer to switch off their sets," the sources added.
Sources said there was no scope for the militants to converse with the border cops while sitting in the Indian border villages as it was practically impossible mainly for two reasons. First, the border population is hostile towards them, and second, the whole of the border-belt is dominated by BSF and police and a wide network of police informers. So the militants, who abuse cops on wireless sets, were definitely perched in the Pak forward posts, which were in the close vicinity of the IB, the sources added.
Sources said security had been further beefed up all along the IB to foil any intrusion bid by the militants.
Quoting wireless intercepts and intelligence inputs, sources said the Pak-based militants could make more infiltration bids in near future to disrupt the forthcoming Republic Day celebrations.
Sources said BSF had adopted a harder posture against the Rangers now. "They want us to talk peace after creating problems for us," sources in BSF said and added, "No friendship can be carried forward at the expense of the national security."
Sources said to ensure that infiltrating militants did not take water routes, special patrol parties had been constituted to take care of nullahs and other water bodies that flow from the border areas of Jammu to Pakistan.
Sources said even as Pakistan had denied its role in the two intrusion bids by the armed militants from across the IB in Ramgarh and Paharpur belts early this week, it was not possible for militants to come close to the IB on Pak side "without the Pak Rangers' consent and prior knowledge."
