Warriors Foiling The Infiltration
by Security forces active to the fullest.
General Officer Commanding of the Srinagar-based XV Corps, Lt General Syed Atta Hasnain, has said that security forces have been successful in foiling infiltration attempts by militants across the Line of Control (LOC).
“We have had only one contact, on operation on the line of control (LoC). Besides that I cannot guarantee you that infiltration is not taking place, possibly some infiltration has taken place. Our grid on the LoC it is always porous, it can never be hundred percent certain some infiltration must have taken place but I think we have been very successful in limiting it,” he General Hasnain told media here.
“I think in Kashmir the threat of infiltration actually increases around about mid- June to July and that is the time we should be looking for,” he added.
He also hailed the scheduled visit of Home Secretary R K Singh to Pakistan.
“In my view both India and Pakistan are now moving towards greater economic cooperation and the visit by Home Secretary (to Pakistan) is a precursor to that development,” he said.
” Whenever he goes to Pakistan to engage in bilateral talks, he would be in a better position to talk and carry forward the process of dialogue,” he added.
Asserting that the onus to end militancy lies with the people of Kashmir, Gen. Hasnain said: “I am a positive man, very positive mandate person. I am quite certain that in times to come it will not be Army, not the police who will end militancy; it is the people of Kashmir who will end militancy.”
