The Intelligence agencies have warned that Jammu and Kashmir will see a rise in infiltration attempts ahead of heavy snowfall.
The warning has been issued after the security forces intercepted the messages of terror outfits in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) for intensifying infiltrations before the heavy snowfall. The terror outfits are planning infiltration despite the fact that the Indian Army and central police forces in the Kashmir Valley have initiated major operations against the terrorists after the targeted killings of civilians recently.
Quoting its sources, news agency IANS reported that the intelligence agencies have sent an alert that reveals that major terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Al-Badr are holding a series of meetings in Pok to push more and more ultras into the Kashmir Valley before the heavy snowfall commences.
