Kashmir infiltration on the way up
Looks like the snows have melted enough for the Kashmir Korpse Kount to pick up again.The infiltration along the Line of Control (LoC) and international border in Jammu and Kashmir has picked up considerably this month with the figure recording three times the number of 26 witnessed last month. The militants have again been using their traditional routes of Neelum valley in north Kashmir and Poonch sector in Jammu to infiltrate into the valley, official sources said, according to a report submitted to Union Home Ministry. The sources said so far till June 20, an approximate number of 85 militants mostly Pakistanis had infiltrated into the state and the number was expected to go up. An earlier report of the Union Home Ministry on militant camps in PoK and Pakistan had said that ISI had initiated a new action plan to launch militants into the state without taking help of Pakistani army so that international criticism could be avoided. The fresh report on infiltration said that Neelum valley in Kupwara district and Poonch and Mandi in Jammu region were being used by the militants to slip into the valley.
