Infiltration across LOC in J&K down by 70%: Army

A senior army commander on Sunday said that infiltration across Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu and Kashmir has reduced by 70% in comparison to last year. General Officer Commanding (GOC) of army’s strategic 15 corps Lt Gen BS Raju said the forces were in full control of LOC. “This year we’ve been able to reduce infiltration by over 70% in comparison to last year... Here on the LOC we remain in full control & are prepared for all contingencies,” he said in a video shared on Chinar Corps’ twitter handle. The GOC said that the LOC was quiet owing to the heavy snowfall in frontier areas.
