This year, from January to June, a total of 255 terrorists have attempted to infiltrate,'' he told Lok Sabha. Security forces have killed 114 terrorists -- 59 of them while infiltrating -- and arrested 60 others in J&K in the first six months of 2010. "Along the LoC, the Army had adopted a robust counter-infiltration strategy, which has an appropriate mix of technology and human resources to check infiltration effectively,'' said
Antony
.”Innovative troop deployment, efficient use of surveillance and monitoring devices and the LoC fence have enhanced the ability to detect and intercept terrorists attempting to infiltrate/exfiltrate. The Army's counter-infiltration posture is an effective deterrent to infiltration attempts,'' he added.
