Only four infiltration attempts this year; 8 terrorists killed, 5 pushed back: Yadav<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Dec 01: The Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday said infiltration along the Line of Control (LoC) has “declined sharply” this year owing to tighter coordination and proactive intelligence sharing with the Indian Army. He, however, added that narco-terrorism and \u201cwhite-collar\u201d radicalisation emerge as new fronts in internal security challenges.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Annual Press Meet 2024\u201325 at the BSF Frontier Headquarters in Humhama, IG Kashmir Frontier Ashok Yadav (IPS) said the frontier\u2019s counter-infiltration grid and joint operations have ensured a near-record low in cross-border intrusions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly four infiltration attempts were reported this year. Thirteen infiltrators were involved, eight were neutralised, and five pushed back,\u201d Yadav said, as per the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO). He added that the drop reflects \u201cbetter synergy, quicker intelligence response and ground-level coordination”.<\/p>\n

Over \u2018White-Collar\u2019 radicalisation and the silent challenge, the IG said a new pattern of radicalisation has emerged, where educated youths with clean records are being lured into ideological and logistical support roles. \u201cThese individuals don\u2019t appear on our radar or in security databases. It\u2019s silent recruitment, harder to detect and therefore more dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said all security agencies have intensified efforts to trace such modules and identify institutions or social circuits used for indoctrination. \u201cIt\u2019s a serious internal threat, and we are working closely with J&K Police and intelligence agencies to dismantle such networks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Calling narco-terrorism \u201ca hybrid threat that targets both the mind and the system,\u201d Yadav said attempts to smuggle narcotics into Kashmir have increased, particularly along the Tangdhar and Keran sectors. \u201cDrugs are being used to fund terrorism and to weaken Kashmiri youth. Every such attempt is tracked and neutralised through layered surveillance and local coordination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The IG said that \u201cfemale couriers\u201d have been intercepted along LoC roads, and Mahila Praharis have been strategically deployed at choke points to counter this emerging tactic.<\/p>\n

He said that last year, BSF carried out 22 joint operations with the Army, RR, JKP and CRPF, recovering large quantities of arms, ammunition and explosives. The frontier, he added, has also supported 13 companies in the hinterland for anti-terror and anti-radicalisation roles.<\/p>\n

Yadav said BSF continues to \u201cdominate the LoC effectively in coordination with the Army\u201d, adding that border vigilance and internal intelligence sharing are the backbone of Kashmir Frontier\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Beyond operations, the IG underlined the BSF\u2019s civic action programmes under Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, Bharat Darshan tours for border students, and pre-recruitment training for local youth. \u201cWe believe in making border communities our partners in peace and national security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Yadav added that BSF played a vital role in ensuring an incident-free Amarnath Yatra 2025, deploying 128 companies across four districts with special rescue and medical teams. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
