“We have targeted these camps using our artillery guns. And the kind of information that we have received, the Pakistan army and the terrorists have suffered heavy casualties,” he said.
He said, “Ever since Article 370 was abrogated from J&K, we have been getting repeated inputs of infiltration by terrorists from across the border to disturb peace and harmony in the state.”
“Gradually, things are returning to normalcy in the Valley, but obviously there is somebody who is working behind the scenes at the behest of terrorists and agencies that are some within and some outside country in Pakistan and the PoK, who’re trying to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere,” General Bipin Rawat said.
General Bipin Rawat said, “Last evening, an attempt was made in Tangdhar to infiltrate terrorists, we retaliated.”
He also said, “Pakistan carried out attack firing at our post in which we did suffer but before they could attempt the infiltration, it was decided that we target the terror camps across.”
