Northern Command chief Lt Gen Ranbir Singh on September 15 said that we have foiled all infiltration attempts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. “Our military strategy is very clear. All infiltration attempts along the Line of Control have been foiled. We have very effective multi-tier and dynamic Counter-Infiltration Grid which has been able to ensure thwarting of all infiltration attempts by the militants on the Line of Control,” he said.

Meanwhile, Northern Command chief Lt Gen Ranbir Singh on September 15 strongly reacted to proposed ‘LoC Chalo [Go to Line of Control (LoC)]’ call given by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, reports Daily Excelsior. Lt Gen Singh said there have been attempts in Pakistan for past couple of days to instigate civilians and locals in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to come close to the LoC or even cross the Line. “However, I would like to caution Pakistan not to use civilians of Pakistan occupied Kashmir as cannon fodder. Indian Army is very clear. Should there be any attempts at violation of the Line of Control, they shall be responded to very very effectively. There will be casualties on other side and the responsibility will lie on Pakistan and its Army,” the Officer said.
