Jammu, Dec 16: The Army has intensified patrols in the higher reaches of the Jammu region to prevent infiltration and maintain constant vigil over sensitive areas along the Line of Control.<\/p>\n
Sources told the news agency\u2014 Kashmir News Observer (KNO) Army has strengthened its presence along high ridges, dense forests, and mountain passes \u2013 regions that usually become inaccessible after heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is part of the Army\u2019s winter security plan. During the cold season, fog, mist, and reduced civilian movement can create favourable conditions for terrorist activity,\u201d they said, adding, \u201cThe lack of snow this season could potentially be exploited by terrorists attempting to infiltrate these areas.\u201d<\/p>\n
In districts like Rajouri and Poonch, there are several mountain caves where infiltrators often hide after crossing the border.<\/p>\n
While the upper reaches of Ramban, Reasi, Kishtwar, Doda and Kathua could be used to make safe hideouts in the hinterland.<\/p>\n
The Army, sources said, is monitoring key routes and traditional infiltration corridors to ensure that no terrorist group is able to set up hideouts. \u201cPatrolling has been stepped up in dense forests and regions around the Line of Control as well as overreaches of Hinterland,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n
\u201cSoldiers equipped with snow gear and modern surveillance tools are conducting round-the-clock patrols. The Army has already stocked up on essential winter supplies and enhanced surveillance through drones and sensors. Joint operations are being carried out in coordination with the Police,\u201d sources added. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
