NEW DELHI, Jan 13 : Indian Defence Minister A. K. Anthony on Wednesday alleged that attempts to infiltrate into Indian occupied Kashmir from across the LOC have increased.
"In 2009, violence in Jammu and Kashmir came down, compared to 2008. At the same time, compared to 2008, last year attempts to infiltrate have gone up. It is a matter of serious concern to us," Anthony told reporters in New Delhi.
When they realised violence level has come down across the state and tourists are coming and normalcy is coming, they started making serious attempts to sabotage the situation. That is why there are more attempts at infiltration," he said on the sidelines of a CII defence seminar.
Anthony held discussion with the Chief Minister and civil administration in the presence of Army Chief Deepak Kapoor in Jammu on Tuesday and directed the security forces to be "more vigilant" against infiltration attempts this year, particularly at the end of this month.
Anthony told the State government that though the police was becoming efficient in bringing down the violence levels, it was not possible to "lower the guard" as infiltration attempts were increasing. INP
