New Delhi: Asserting that terror infrastructure in Pakistan was "intact" irrespective of the recent thaw in Indo-Pak ties, BSF (Border Security Force) today (Nov 29, 2004) said ISI (Inter State Intelligence)-calibrated" infiltration attempts were still on and the terrorists were being given special training to negotiate the border fence.

BSF Director General Ajai Raj Sharma told reporters in New Delhi that infiltration had decreased during the last four months, mainly because of the vigil by the Indian Forces, but around 300 terrorists were always present on "launching pads" waiting for an opportunity to sneak in.

He said the next phase of induction of CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) in Jammu and Kashmir replacing BSF had been put off till next summer.

"The infrastructure for exporting terror across the Line of Control (LoC) is reported to be intact. The terrorist training camps have not been wound up but only shifted away from the border," Sharma said.

The BSF chief pointed out the control of terrorists had been shifted from Pakistan Army to ISI. "Training of militants, providing launching pads for infiltration along with moral and material support is being closely calibrated by Pakistan through ISI," he said.

He said there were reports that ISI was organising special training for militants on methods to "compromise and negotiate the border fence".

As part of this design, models of the fence and Indian troop positions have been prepared and the terrorists are being provided with plastic ladders and gloves, wire cutters, chemicals etc, which have been specially procured for the purpose, Sharma said.
