500 terrorists waiting in PoK to sneak into Kashmir: Northern Command chief

Nearly 500 terrorists are waiting in various training camps along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pak-occupied Kashmir, looking for opportunities to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir, a top Army officer said on Friday. He also said 200 to 300 terrorists are operating in hinterland of J&K to keep the region in turmoil with Pakistan’s support.

‘As far as militants operating within Jammu and Kashmir are concerned, 200 to 300 terrorists, who have come here, joined militants here,’ Northern Command chief Lt Gen Ranbir Singh told reporters here.

Ranbir Singh said this it in reply to questions about the number of militants operating in J&K and those in PoK ready to infiltrate into the country. ‘Like this, nearly 500 terrorists are staged in terrorists’ training camps in PoK and are ready to infiltrate into J&K,’ the top officer pointed out.

Singh said these figures keep changing as per their training schedule. ‘Whatever be the number, we are capable to stop and eliminate them to ensure peace and normalcy in this region,’ asserted Singh.

The Army commander said it is always their endeavour to ensure peace and normalcy in J&K. ‘But Pakistan keeps trying to do some mischief to disturb the peace here. Even today terror infrastructure is being run within Pakistan (by its forces and agencies). These include training as launching pad for terrorists to infiltrate into India,’ informed Singh.

The top officer said Pakistan continues to keep terrorists armed to their teeth and provide all types of support to them. He said deploying drones to arm terrorists is one of the new modus operandi of Pakistan. ‘But I want to ensure you that Indian Army is capable and determined to foil Pakistan’s any unholy design. Their designs will not be allowed to succeed,’ asserted Singh.
