A senior army officer said on Friday that there is a constant effort from across the Line of Control (LoC) to disrupt peace and vitiate the security environment in Jammu and Kashmir, as normalcy has not gone down well with the inimical elements.
Major General Girish Kalia, General Officer Commanding (Vajr Division), told reporters in Kupwara that in the last eight months, there have been 10 such attempts in the divisional area of responsibility, which have resulted in the elimination of 27 terrorists and the recovery of a large quantity of war-like stores.
He said the security forces have also recovered a huge quantity of narcotics, which establishes a deep nexus between defence establishments in Pakistan and terrorist groups.
Maj Gen Kalia said the security forces are working in complete synergy and are committed to defeating any attempt of the enemy to disrupt the security situation in the Kashmir valley with firm resoluteness and steadfast commitment.
Meanwhile, in Jammu, Rashtriya Bajrang Dal (RBD) held protests against Pakistan for unprovoked and heavy firing and shelling targeting villages along the International Border (IB) last night, in which two BSF jawans and a woman were injured.
