[acid rain]

The very next day Pakistans power problem will be solved. Thats a "Kunda" I will love to see being utilized. Militants can't cross? Make lemonade.

The three-tier border fencing along the Line of Control has turned into a ‘death trap’ for infiltrating militants, leading to desperation among militant ranks and repeated firings on Indian posts from across the border, the army has said.

"It is impossible for infiltrating militants to cross over the three-tiered border fencing along the LoC. There is desperation in militant leadership and the Pakistani establishment due to failure to cross over the fencing," said Brigadier A Sengupta.

Commanding the front brigade deployed to guard the LoC in forward sectors, Sengupta said, "There is firing on the fencing at times from across due to desperation caused as a result of failure to push in armed militants this side. They are violating the ceasefire, targeting Indian forward posts and resorting to mortar firing".

Armed with thermal imagers and surveillance equipment, the fencing from Malu (Akhnoor) in Jammu district to Kanzalwan in Kupwara district of Kashmir Valley -- covering 490 km of LoC and 190 km of the International Border from Malu to Pathankote in Punjab -- has become a major hurdle for infiltrating militants.

As per intelligence reports, there are over 300 militants waiting across the LoC to infiltrate for the past three to four months, but they are unable to cross over due to fencing and increased vigilance by troops and ground surveillance equipment, the army officer said.

"They fire on posts to force jawans to keep their movement restricted to posts so that they can try and engineer infiltration of militants," he said.

"Not even a single infiltration has taken place this year in this sector. All infiltration bids have been foiled," said Major General V P Singh, who is looking after operational control of the 220-km long LoC in Rajouri-Poonch region.

Army feels the border fencing along the Indo-Pak border has virtually turned into a death trap for ultras, as 28 infiltrating militants were killed when troops foiled bids this year.

Passing through dense woods, narrow valleys and riverine areas along the LoC and the international border, the fence has proved to be a major deterrent against cross-border infiltration, as it acts as a "round-the-clock" guard, the army officers said.

"The army continues to maintain a state of high alert along the LoC and work on repairing damaged parts of the fence. That continues to make this round-the-clock guard more effective," they said.

The army has also mapped new probable routes of infiltration and vigilance is being maintained by soldiers equipped with ground sensors, thermal imagers and battlefield surveillance radars, they said.

The Line of Control and International Border in Poonch sector and Jammu frontier have become active with Pakistani troops violating the ceasefire and repeatedly attacking forward posts.

Six jawans were killed and 11 people injured in ceasefire violations and firing by Pakistan troops on forward posts, civilian areas and patrolling parties along the Indo-Pak border during August.

People living along the LoC are relaxed as the fencing has brought down infiltration.

"Earlier, militants used to stay in their houses, take food at gunpoint and misbehave with their womenfolk," they said, adding, "Now, border dwellers are fully supporting the army against infiltrating militants".

According to intelligence reports, of the 1,300-1,450 militants set to be pushed into India, over 1,000 were in 21 camps and launching pads along the LoC and 450 in four bases along the IB.

These included Bagh, Kahuta, Hazira, Goi, Jandro, Nikia, Sensa, Mirpur, Khuiratta, Saman, Zafarwal and Sialkote forward, it said.

The launching pads are at Bhimber, Bindi, Samani, Marar, Shakergarh, Dhallapur, Manana, Nikial, Goi, Sensa, Hajira, Ralaur and Garnun opposite Kathua in Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch sector.

Nearly 300 militants are in Chirat-Kahuta-Goi area and 150-155 in Sensa-Kotli-Nakial belt opposite Poonch.

[kseeker]

Awesome idea ! That be the icing on the cake for sure

No need to get disheartened,
what Pakistan now needs is the few mini-TBMs in those regions.

This is the news of the week!! I've been highlighting this for some time now- the fencing and anti-infiltration projects of India along the LoC and border with Pakistan is just so darn effective. Now these fools are having to try and cross across some of the most inhospitable terrain to try and find a way in ie over mountains and throw snow and then they are easy to track by UAVs as their footprints are a dead give away so operations against these groups can be launched.


The Indian govt is thankfully building similar fencing along the border with Bangledesh now so another potential terrorist/smuggling supply route will be cut off for good.

Two days back, I was in Kashmir and got chance to interact with couple of Indian Army Personnel's. They have halted the the Militants movement from Pakistan to great extent and things are under control in Kashmir. However, the picture at border with China is Gloomy and our Impotent government is hiding lot of things from Civilians. I Hope Media highlights it and they are forced to wake from Slumber and address the threat Head on.

Madam, the case of China is very different. Firstly as bad as China is, they aren't sending across armed terrorists into India to kill and maim innocents. Secondly for as much hype around China and encroachment issues as there is, the situation is actually relatively peaceful on the ground between the two sides. Unlike with the LoC, the two sides do not actually engage one another and it must be decades since either side has used live fire on the other. There are established norms between the PLA and IA. There may be a lot of sensationalism around China but it doesn't really warrant this kind of multi-multi- billion dollar fencing and survelince equipment expenditure.


Just my opinion.

Mate, I have fair idea about what is Happening at India-Pakistan Border and India-China Border. Everyone knows what Pakistan Does. However, what is happening at India-China Border is being hidden from US. I refrained myself from given out details in my earlier POST. Once media will report it, most of us will be Shocked. I hope our back channel Diplomacy Works , else.......................................
