The officer, however, added that security forces were alert and would foil any cross-border infiltration attempts.
”There are intelligence inputs that 250-300 terrorists are waiting at launchpads, but we and the Army have dominated all the vulnerable patches and are alert,” Inspector General, BSF, Ashok Yadav told reporters in Pulwama district of south Kashmir.
He said the brave jawans of the BSF and Army were alert in the border areas and would foil any infiltration attempts.
