FIRING 2 LAST

The aim of the firing by Pakistani troops was to give
cover to infiltrating militants, officials said adding,
however, their objective was not successful as all the border
posts were alerted.

"Pakistani forward posts were instrumental in
facilitating infiltration into Indian territory," BSF DIG S
Sagwan had said earlier.
Information from various security agencies involved in
security grid in Jammu and Kashmir has put figure of
infiltration attempts at 433 in 2009, which is 91 attempts
more than 2008.
As per the police figures, 342 infiltration attempts were
made from across the border in 2008, while 2007 and 2006
reported 535 and 573 such attempts along LoC and IB in Jammu
and Kashmir, where over 100 militants managed to sneak in.
The BSF had said infiltration attempts along the border
is up and measures have been taken by security forces to foil
these bids as it is an area of concern at a time when violence
has gone down in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the Chief Ministers' Conference on Internal
Security in New Delhi earlier this month, Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh had said though there has been a marked decline
in the number of terrorist incidents from 2008 to 2009 in
Jammu and Kashmir, infiltration levels have shown an increase
in the same period and "recently there have been some
incidents which are disturbing." PTI AB
