Srinagar: In view of repeated ceasefire violations from across the
border along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home
Minister Sushilkumar Shinde will visit the areas along the International
Border on Tuesday to assess the security situation on ground.
The Home Minister is expected to reach J&K at around 9:30 AM.
"We have sufficient information that there has been an infiltration.
This might be the result of decisions taken by the Indian Government
against militants in the past few years," Shinde told media yesterday.
Shinde’s visit comes after J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday asked the Centre to explore other options if Pakistan continues to violate ceasefire.
Omar said ceasefire along the LoC and International Border was one of the major steps that was mutually agreed by both the countries.
A total of 136 ceasefire violations have been reported in 2013, the highest in the past 8 years.
The Home Minister is expected to reach J&K at around 9:30 AM.
