I have now given direction to call off the concerted search (in Keran sector). But our counter-infiltration deployment is being strengthened. We are now going to launch operations which are intelligence based, which are surveillance based so that we can eliminiate and meet the challenges, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Army’s Northern Command Lt General Sanjiv Chachra told reporters in Srinagar.
The Army has been maintaining that it has been on a concerted search operation in Keran sector for the last 15 days after it foiled a major infiltration attempt by terrorists backed by suspected Pakistan special forces last month.
