An Army trooper and a militant were killed as troops foiled major infiltration attempt on the Line of Control (LoC) in Balnoi sector of Krishna Ghati in Poonch District on October 14, after heavy exchange of firing with a group of four to five militants, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said the troops continued to engage the militants and gunned down one militant tonight. The operation was still on with troops trying to eliminate rest of the militants, who were making desperate attempt to infiltrate into the Indian Territory by resorting to firing on the troops. The operation could resume tomorrow (October 15), morning, as weather was very dark along the LoC in Balnoi tonight (October 14). Latest reports indicated that the remaining militants hadn’t retreated so far to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) but could make an attempt to return in the midnight in view of heavy presence of troops on Indian side of the LoC. Sources also confirmed that there was no ceasefire violation from Pakistan army during infiltration attempt by the militants. However, they said, this was the first intrusion bid on the LoC in entire Jammu sector after successful Brigade Commander level talks between the Armies of India and Pakistan at Chakan-Da-Bagh in Poonch sector on September 21, and Director General level talks between Border Security Force (BSF) and Rangers in New Delhi for four days from September 9 to 12. Only yesterday (October 13), General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Srinagar based 15 Corps Lt Gen Satish Dua had said in Awantipora, that over 300 militants were waiting at launching pads to infiltrate into the Indian Territory.
