Srinagar, Oct 26, Additional Director General Police (ADGP) Kashmir Zone Vijay Kumar on Thursday said "our Intelligence maintains a hawk-eye on the Line of Control (LoC) and neutralising infiltrating terrorists continues along the LoC."

His remarks came after an infiltration bid was foiled, and five LeT terrorists were killed.

"Based on an Intelligence input, an infiltration bid was successfully foiled in a joint operation launched by the police and army along the LoC in Machil sector of Kupwara district. In this swift and coordinated operation, five terrorists were neutralised," the police said in a statement.

A joint team of the police and the army swiftly launched anti-terrorist operation during the intervening night of October 25-26 at Sardari Nar area along the LoC.

Besides, multiple ambushes were laid by the joint teams along the LoC.

"The joint team observed movement of terrorists in the thick dense forests of the area who taking advantage of difficult terrain infiltrated to our side. Employing meticulous tactics, the terrorists were intercepted who fired indiscriminately upon the joint team.

"The fire was retaliated, leading to the elimination of five unidentified terrorists linked with proscribed terror outfit LeT," the police said.

The police said the identification of the terrorists is being ascertained.

Huge cache of arms and ammunition including five AK rifles and other incriminating materials have been recovered from the site of encounter.

"ADGP Kashmir has appreciated the role of Kupwara Police for generating the actionable input and the role of joint forces for swiftly tracking and neutralising the infiltrating terrorists to defeat the nefarious designs of inimical elements who are hellbent to disrupt peace and harmony in the valley," the police statement said.
