He said the big modules who were involved in destabilizing the situation in Jammu and Kashmir have been neutralized.
“Pakistan is still trying to send militants from across to infiltrate this side and the trend is still continuing”, he said and added “but our security forces are capable of thwarting every attempt”. A large cache of arms, ammunition and narcotics were seized by the security forces, these were left behind by the infiltrating militants on the borders.

“There is a lot of pressure for the local Kashmiri youth who are staying on launch pads near the Line of Control (LoC) and those who have spent a lot of time in camps in Pakistan are being pushed to infiltrate”, The DGP Singh said.
The DGP congratulated the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the whole of India on the 75th year of Independence Day being celebrated Monday. He said “we are celebrating the occasion for the past one week and the celebrations would continue after Independence Day also”.
