A soldier was killed during an attempt to foil an infiltration bid near the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Bandipore district last night.
The Army spokesman in Srinagar, Col Brijesh Pandey, said an Army jawan of 36 Rashtriya Rifles, Chander Singh, was killed in the encounter that erupted near the LoC in Gurez sector.
“The encounter erupted during the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday in the Hajibal ridge of Gurez sector, when troops noticed a movement of the infiltrators. When the troops challenged them, they started firing which was retaliated and it triggered an encounter. The soldier was killed in the encounter,” Col Pandey said. “The firing stopped after half an hour and during the search operation in the wee hours, war-like stores and a pistol was recovered from the encounter site,” he added.
The spokesman said that the casualty among the infiltrators could not be established. Police sources in north Kashmir said the infiltrators were forced to withdraw after their movement was noticed near the LoC by the Army.
After the latest infiltration bid in Gurez, the Army is keeping a close vigil on Nowgam and Chowkibal sectors of north Kashmir as militants have been using these sectors to sneak into the Valley.
The General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Northern Command, Lt Gen KT Parnaik, had recently disclosed that 35 to 38 militants had managed to infiltrate into the state this year. “In 2012, militants have made 40-50 small and big infiltration attempts. But according to the Multi Agency Centre, there have been 14-15 infiltration attempts this year in which 35-38 infiltrators have succeeded,” Parnaik had said.
The LoC is fenced with barbed wire and sophisticated equipments such as the UAVs, high-power cameras, thermal sensing cameras and long-range observation system have been installed near the LoC to notice all the movements.
