Fog, Extreme Cold Or New Year, BSF Does Not Blink: NDTV Ground Report | Read

The Border Security Force (BSF), India's first line of defence at border areas where they are deployed, has increased monitoring of the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The move comes amid the Indian Army's parallel operations at several areas in the icy heights to neutralise terrorists despite the biting cold in peak winter. Intelligence received from various sources said Pakistan may try to push in Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists from multiple launchpads along the border under the cover of thick fog during the New Year, people with direct knowledge of the matter told NDTV. In technical terms, the counter-infiltration grid has been strengthened and all identified gaps have been plugged, sources said.
