SRINAGAR: On Wednesday, officials in the Gurez sector of Jammu and Kashmir stated that a senior army officer had visited advanced areas along the Line of Control (LoC) to assess the readiness of the counter-infiltration grid ahead of Republic Day. According to reports, on Tuesday, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, the General Officer Commanding of the Army's 15 Corps, reviewed the operational readiness and counter-infiltration grid while touring the forward areas in the Gurez sector of Bandipora district. Due to insufficient snowfall in Kashmir's higher regions this winter, security officials are worried that terrorists may infiltrate the valley. Terrorist infiltration is less likely during the winter months as the mountain passes along the LoC are typically blocked by a lot of snowfall.But the counter-infiltration grid has increased the vigilance along the LoC due to the dry winter. When speaking with the troops, Lt Gen. Ghai urged them to stay "in a high state of operational readiness" in adverse weather and on difficult terrain.
