Troops foiled an infiltration bid on October 1 along International Border (IB) in Kanachak sub-sector of Jammu district as Pakistani rangers opened fire at Tent Post to push a group of militants into J-K.

Similarly an attempt by Pakistani troops on September 27 to infiltrate into India along IB via Chak Fagwari area in Pargwal belt on Jammu was foiled by BSF.

On September 22, security forces foiled another infiltration bid and killed four militants when Pakistani troops violated ceasefire and opened small arms firing on Indian posts along LoC in Tarkundi forward areas in Poonch district.

On September 18, there was firing from Pakistan across LoC on forward posts of Panjal and Kopra of Poonch district.

Since January this year, Pakistani troops have violated five-year-old ceasefire agreement 35 times and Indian troops have refused to retaliate on many occasions.

Army and BSF have beefed up security along LoC and IB in J&K after intelligence inputs reported presence of several big groups of ultras waiting to enter J&K.

Pakistani breaches of ceasefire and infiltrations bids were reported from Jammu, Samba, Rajouri, Uri, Tanghdhar and Poonch sectors this year, from where a number of ultras were trying to infiltrate into India.

Over 127 infiltration bids were reported in nine months from Pakistan, in which over 70 militants were killed.
