The security forces have been asked to remain on a high alert and maintain vigil around sensitive security installations across the state, they said.
Ahead of annual Amarnath Yatra starting from June 28 in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have been put on a high alert following reports of large-scale infiltration of terrorists in the Valley from across the Line of Control, officials said here today.
There are reports of infiltration of 12 militants into Kashmir from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) recently, the officials said.
They said most of the militants are believed to be affiliated to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The security forces have been asked to remain on a high alert and maintain vigil around sensitive security installations across the state, they said.
The officials said it is rare for such a large number of militants to infiltrate in one go and indicated the desperation of their handlers across the LoC to keep the Kashmir pot boiling.
