The recent inputs that the security agencies have received are that all the launch pads along the line of control in the Pakistani side have been reactivated by the Pakistani army and they are desperate to push in trained terrorists into the Indian side.

“They (Pakistani) side is desperate because it is not succeeding the way it wants too, to push in trained terrorists into our side, the army is maintaining a tight vigil along the line of control and due to their frustration they resort to the ceasefire violation”, the officer said.

He said that a large number of activities has been noticed on the other side of the line of control, but security forces are in command of the situation.
