(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- Security forces have been placed on high alert across Jammu and Kashmir following intelligence inputs about possible infiltration attempts by militants along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border, official sources said on Friday.

According to officials, the Army, Border Security Force (BSF) and Jammu and Kashmir Police have intensified surveillance and patrolling along the borders, particularly in the Samba, Jammu, Rajouri and Kupwara sectors.

“Inputs indicate that around seven launching pads across the border have been activated and a number of militants are believed to be present there,” an official source said.

Sources added that nearly 50 militants were recently shifted to some of the newly activated launching pads, while around 150 others are believed to be stationed at camps located about 10 to 20 kilometres from the LoC and the International Border.

Security agencies believe that militant groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed may attempt to increase infiltration in the coming weeks, the sources said.
