Asserting that Army is resolved to show "zero tolerance" to militancy and is committed to extracting "dire costs" for it, Army Chief General MM Naravane on January 12 said that as many as 350-400 militants are present at the launchpads and training camps in Pakistan controlled Kashmir (PoK), reports Kashmir Observer. Addressing a press conference ahead of the Army Day, he said the concentration of some 350 to 400 militants in launch pads and training facilities on the other side (Pakistani side) of the Line of Control (LoC) and repeated infiltration attempts "expose" the "nefarious intents" of the adversary. At the same time, he said last year's ceasefire understanding between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Indian and Pakistani armies resulted in some improvement in the situation along the LoC. "Along the Line of Control, after a heightened situation for a prolonged period, the DGMOs understanding in February last year was aimed at achieving mutually beneficial, and sustainable peace," he said.
