Faced with more than 400 Pakistan-backed terrorists waiting to infiltrate into India, the Indian Army has adopted an approach to launch coordinated fire assaults along the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan, indicating that action along the border will continue.
“Adequate freedom of action has been given to commanders on ground,” sources said. The Army estimates that some 400-odd terrorists are in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) and waiting to enter. These armed terrorists are located in launch pads on either side of the Pir-Panjal range that forms a massive ridge east-west axis across India and Pakistan dividing the terrain into distinct geographic features.
The number of terrorists is much more than the number last year, indicating a ‘hot-summer’ ahead.
The Indian Army has used its posts at Balnoi, Sarla Mendhar, Laleali, Doda, Banwat, Kalal and Karen among others, to launch the fire assaults.
Army Chief General Bipin Rawat addressing a press conference in New Delhi on January 12 had said: “Ceasefire violation is part of our counter-terrorism strategy. Terrorists are a disposable commodity for Pakistan Army has to be victim of its actions. If there is a drop in infiltration, we can adhere to the ceasefire.”
The Director General of Pakistan’s Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) today criticised the Indian Army’s action ‘across the LoC’ on Twitter. Sources in New Delhi said a pro-active strategy includes coordinated attacks along the LoC, which divides Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan. A series of continuous fire assaults — classified as punitive fire — have been carried out in the past few weeks.
The Pakistan army has issued 35 red alerts to its forces, keeping in mind the firing from India. The frequency of visits by its 10 Corp commander Lt Gen Nadeem Raza has increased at Pakistan Army posts along the LoC while the village defence committees on their side have been activated.
