'Even one terrorist sent to kill indiscriminately is a challenge": J-K DGP RR Swain

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 15 (ANI): Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police, RR Swain, said on Monday that even one terrorist sent to kill indiscriminately, with the purpose of increasing the level of violence, is a challenge for the security forces.
Swain said, "The terrorists are not much in number (in the Valley), but that does not define the situation because they are unaccountable entities. Even one unaccountable entity or a man sent to kill indiscriminately without any connection to this land, with no purpose but to repeat the level of violence or increase it, is a challenge."
The DGP of J-K also held a meeting with the Punjab Police over infiltration via the Punjab border.
"Infiltration is taking place (via Punjab border) and it is a commonplace knowledge. We tried to deliberate with ourselves as to the new methods and the modus operandi they are adopting. We talked about how to address more effectively, their use of tunnels to infiltrate. There are certain things of operational confidentiality, but we tried to put our minds together and we have a response which will eventually work," RR Swain said.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army successfully eliminated three hardcore foreign terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Keran Sector of the Kupwara District of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday.
As per the officials, on the intervening night of July 13-14, acting on credible inputs, multiple ambushes were laid along the appreciated route of infiltration.
Elaborating on the encounter with the terrorists, Commander of the 268th Infantry Brigade, Keran Sector, Brigadier NR Kulkarni, said that they had intelligence inputs of terrorists trying to disturb normalcy in the area.
Brigadier Kulkarni also mentioned that the terrorists were heavily armed, well-trained, and equipped with sophisticated weaponry.
"In the ensuing intense fire-fight, three foreign terrorists were neutralized. A detailed search of the area was subsequently carried out, which led to the recovery of large quantities of war-like stores," he said. (ANI)
