Militants desperate to infiltrate from across LoC: Army

Jammu: With infiltration bids from across the LoC showing a substantial decline, militants are now adopting a new tactic of recruiting locals, an army official today said. Col SD Goswami, PRO Defence, Northern Command said the militants so far were using traditional infiltration routes but they are looking into some other areas for sneaking into India. "Seeing that infiltration is not really taking place and that the number of militants is dwindling, they have started new tactics of trying to recruit locals," he said. Surveillance devices provide signatures of the movement of terrorists in real time and enable troops to take appropriate action," he said.
