Rajouri, April 14

Lt Gen Saranjeet Singh, GOC, White Knight Corps, on Friday admitted that a group of four terrorists, who were killed by the Army in an operation near Sunderbani on March 28, had infiltrated into the state by breaching the Line of Control (LoC).Speaking on the sidelines of the Rajouri Day celebrations on Friday, he said maintaining zero infiltration on the LoC was difficult because the fence passed through dense forests, uneven terrain and rivulets.“In Sunderbani, four terrorists managed to intrude to this side of the border, not by cutting the fence but by adopting some other measures which can’t be disclosed,” said the Corps Commander.When asked about the overground workers (OGWs) of militant organisations, he said only a few OGWs were active and they too were under observation.“No crackdown against OGWs is needed at present as the Army is getting support from every section of society,” he said, adding that between 150-200 terrorists were camping along the LoC in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir for infiltration with support from the PoK administration and Pakistan army.“The Army is always ready and capable to give a befitting reply to any misadventure on the LoC by the Pakistan army, including pushing the terrorists under the guise of heavy firing and shelling,” said the GOC, 16 Corps.Replying to a question, he said, “People of India and the Army want peace for development.”
