3,000 militants will infiltrate Kashmir: Vij
More than 3,000 militants are ready to slip into Indian-held Kashmir from Pakistan, the Indian Army chief said on Friday. âAs per our information, about 3,000 to 3,500 people in the various camps across the border are ready to infiltrate,â Indian Army chief General NC Vij told a news conference. âThere are about 85 to 95 (militant training) camps, as per the information. Theyâre still there.â Gen Vij said the Indian army had stepped up efforts to build a fence across the border to halt incursions. âThe number of terrorists inside Jammu and Kashmir has dropped to nearly 55-60 percent of what it was last year.â But a senior Pakistani army officer rejected the charges. âThis is totally ludicrous,â Major-General Shaukat Sultan said.Posted by: Fred 2004-05-22 |
