Udhampur (JK): Infiltration attempts from across the border are still going on in Jammu and Kashmir but there was no cause of concern on the security front as troop de-induction has been done after making sure that security interests are not compromised, Army Chief N C Vij today (Nov 22, 2004) said.

Spotlight: Kashmir is NOT negotiable

"I have no reason to feel that there has been lack of efforts on infiltration because in this month alone there has been already eight attempts which were foiled by us, two of them during the last three-four days alone," Gen Vij told reporters on the sidelines of the inauguration of Dhruva Satellite communication network in Udhampur.

"So obviously the infiltration is going on. You have to see that difference; he said adding, "I clarified that efforts to infiltrate remains".

However, "it is our success which has brought it down," he said adding that "when we talk of infiltration going down, it is going down because of the efforts of Army to curtail and curb it".

The Army Chief said though cross border infiltration is being carried out, at the same time there is no cause of any concern on the security front after troop de-induction, as it has been done after making sure that security concerns are not compromised at all.

"Let me assure you of one thing that what troop de-induction is taking place, has been done after making sure our security needs and interest are not compromised. My concerns are million times more than that," he added.
