BSF On High Alert Along LoC As Terrorist Infiltration Attempts Rise Before Winter In Jammu And Kashmir

Border Security Force (BSF) Kashmir Frontier Inspector General (IG) Ashok Yadav stated that terrorists continue to maintain a presence at “launch pads” across the Line of Control (LoC), prompting security forces to remain on high alert amid rising infiltration attempts ahead of the winter snowfall.

IG Ashok Yadav confirmed that terrorists remain active along the border in the Bandipora and Kupwara sectors. He noted that infiltration attempts usually increase before the onset of heavy winter snowfall, as militants know their opportunities to cross the LoC will be limited over the next six months, making autumn a critical period for heightened vigilance.

“Terrorist groups often exploit bad weather, such as heavy rain or fog, to conceal their movements and facilitate crossings,” IG Yadav said.
