For the past several days, Pakistani troops have been trying to infiltrate terrorists from the LoC in Poonch, which is being monitored. They are trying to take advantage of the dense greenery in the areas adjacent to the LoC.

The Pakistani troops could not infiltrate from any river, stream or dense forest so the Poonch KSOG started working in the areas adjacent to the LoC in Degwar. A search operation is being conducted at several places in the forest area, said a source.
