Around 200 terrorists are waiting across the border to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi has said.
"The number of terrorists staged across the Indo-Pak border are approximately 200. They are waiting to be launched to this side,” Lt Gen Dwivedi said in reply to a question on day one of the North Tech Symposium on Friday.
He went on to say that 21 foreign militants have been eliminated so far this year, while ceasefire violations have also gone down.
“In the last twelve months, to say so, the number of ceasefire violations has been very limited -- only one to three ceasefire violations took place,” he said.
He maintained that terror infrastructure, however, seems to be intact across the border. "There are six major terror camps and 29 minor camps” he added.
