New Delhi, Jul 28: Almost six infiltration attempts by militants have been foiled by the BSF in the last fortnight along the international border at Jammu, a top officer said today.
"We have foiled almost six infiltration attempts in the last fifteen days along the international border. We have increased the vigil to thwart any such attempt," Inspector General Border Security Force (BSF) Siddharth Chhatopadhaya told reporters on the sidelines of an internal security conference here.
Chhatopadhaya said the BSF has lodged official protests with the Pakistan Rangers following the incidents.
"We are all concerned about the (infiltration) attempts.
We have taken it up with the Pakistan Rangers," he said.
Given the scenario, the force has positioned more troops and made available additional weapons and equipment to thwart such attempts, he said.
