Kashmir incursions 'nearly over'
India's defense minister says the infiltration by Pakistan-based militants across Kashmir's Line of Control "has almost ended," but said troops would not be withdrawn from the area yet. "The infiltration has almost ended and whatever is still taking place will stop too," George Fernandes told journalists at the inauguration of a Kashmir business summit on Thursday. "The troops will remain on the borders and we will wait, given the past experience," he said, referring to past pledges by Pakistan to rein in militants fighting New Delhi's rule in the disputed state of Kashmir.
