For the last few days, terrorists have been continuously carrying out major incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army is running a campaign to eliminate them. As soon as snowfall and winter arrive in the valley, incidents of infiltration from across the border increase. To stop them, all kinds of arrangements are made through security forces. BSF IG Ashok Yadav says that this time also good preparations have been made to stop infiltration.
He told that before snowfall, there are some attempts of infiltration, in such a situation we make strategies with the army and dominate the area. Together we ensure that if any such attempt is made, it can be successfully foiled. He told that work is done by various security agencies for internal security, on the Line of Control we try to thwart any infiltration along with the army.

‘The challenge of infiltration always remains’
The IG said that the challenge of infiltration always remains because there is a constant presence of terrorists at the launching pads. They try to infiltrate as soon as they get a chance and spread terror in the valley. But we also have a strategy to counter them to successfully thwart any such attempt. For this, the soldiers of the country are deployed with full preparation and keep an eye on every nook and corner.
‘Fencing is repaired every year’
On the question of repairing border fencing, he said that fencing is not just one but a layer of counter infiltration security grid, which is 3-4 layers. He told that with this we make a strategy to thwart infiltration, which includes area domination patrol, forward locations posts and fencing is a part of this. He said that the fencing gets damaged due to snowfall and it is repaired every year.

BSF is installing new surveillance equipment with some new technology on the Line of Control, which will make our counter strategy even stronger and will help in preventing terrorists from infiltrating.
