The heightened Pak defence activity across the LoC and some portion along the International Border in the state is causing serious concerns to the security establishment, with many seeing this “offensive posture” as a build up for a major influx of the militants into the state or a preparation for some “fresh misadventure”.

In the three years of the ceasefire, Pakistan has built 70 new bunkers, 55 observatory towers and constructed around 30 posts. And most of this activity is taking place in Jammu where about 40 bunkers and 45 observatory towers have been built.

“Their defence activity has intensified recently which is causing concern at a time when the peace process is on between the two countries,” Srinivasan said, adding the BSF has sensitised the Government about the development and also conveyed its objection to the Pakistan Rangers in their quarterly and biannual meetings. “But they (Rangers) hurl counter charges at us while getting on with the activity,” he said.
