Infiltration bid foiled along LoC in Poonch

“During the Brigade Commander level flag meeting conducted at Poonch yesterday, the Indian Army's concerns about this unchecked infiltration were conveyed in strong terms to the Pakistani delegation,” the spokesman said.  

There have been a number of intelligence reports about increased attempts at infiltration by terrorists from across the Line of Control to carry out disruptive activities around Republic Day, he said.

The Army has placed its troops on high alert along the Line of Control and the high level of preparedness helped prevent the two infiltration attempts, he said.  

“We have lodged a strong protest with Pakistan Army authorities over the ceasefire violations along LoC in Poonch at the brigadier-level flag meeting,” a senior Army officer told PTI.
