LOC SKIRMISHES
The latest about the LoC in North Kashmir is very disturbing as army spokesman said that there have been fresh attempts in Nowgam sector for infiltration. It is not the only sector which has seen a spike in shelling incidents in the recent past.
The central government has decided to deploy more troops on LoC in Kashmir valley along with Rajouri and Poonch sectors of Jammu. LoC has been very hot in the past several months leading to many miseries and hardships to the people living near the forward areas.
According to the official data 14 villagers were killed and 88 sustained injuries in more than 2,432 incidents of unprovoked ceasefire violations carried out by Pakistani forces till June this year.
Union Home Ministry called Lt-Governor GC Murmu, Chief Secretary BVR Subramanyam, and held several meetings in which top officials of intelligence wings also participated. Reports said that it was decided to move more troops on LOC also in Uri, Keran, Karnah and Machil sectors of Kashmir as the firing incidents from across the LOC have increased.
Apart from attempts of infiltration, Union Home Ministry also wanted a comprehensive security plan of UT administration of Jammu and Kashmir if they want to go ahead with their plan of two weeks Amarnath Yatra in Kashmir.
Government is also worried about the growing curve of Covid-19 in Jammu and Kashmir as hundreds of fresh cases are being reported on a daily basis, forcing the authorities to rethink about the re-imposition of lockdown in Kashmir.
