Pakistan and its associated terror agencies are found once again at the treacherous game of digging tunnels on its side of the International Border opening at Benglard village of Samba in Jammu to facilitate infiltration of its trained and armed men into this side. IG -BSF, Jammu talking to reporters and giving details about the dirty tricks continuously employed by Pakistan said, “alert BSF troops foiled the nefarious design of Pakistan to infiltrate terrorists into Indian territory and the origin of the tunnel is in Pakistan territory close to IB.” While the alertness and timely detection of the 170 meter long tunnel inside our territory by the BSF personnel deserve all praises , yet once again, Pakistan stands exposed in not getting tired of and relinquishing such nasty and belligerent activities against this country. The early detection of the tunnel was also facilitated with the unaccounted sinking of the earth at some places in a farmer’s field. The plastic bags used for doing the Satan’s job bore Pakistani markings of Shakargarh and Karachi which ostensibly were used also to stuff the tunnel’s mouth. Such bags quite in number, were seized by the security forces. Whatever the case, yet again Pakistan’s efforts to push infiltrators into this side stand thwarted and duly scotched.
It is worth noting that Samba sector has been found as most ‘convenient’ sector along the International Border by Pakistan to further its agenda of pushing its infiltrators into this side to create violence and disturbances. Regular inputs from intelligence sources are routinely received by the security forces manning the border about fresh infiltration plans. Not only terrorists from the Pakistani side but even drug pedlars and smugglers are pushed into this side as terror and drugs are employed by Pakistan as its strategy to harm and trouble India. The charge sheet filed by the NIA shows that Mohammed Umar Farooq, nephew of Jaish-e-Mohammad Chief Masood Azhar had infiltrated in 2018 through this sector. It was his devilish brain which was behind the February 14 terror strike on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama Kashmir that resulted in the martyrdom of 40 personnel.
It may be recalled that in the very recent past, armed infiltration had been reported from Samba-Hiranagar sector wherein militants were squeezing themselves in the trucks to reach Kashmir valley when three of them were gunned down in encounters at Ban Nagrota and Jhajjar Kotli on Jammu Udhampur road. The Over Ground Workers including the truck driver had disclosed that they had previously also transported some militants into Jammu and Kashmir. The tunnel appearing to be freshly dug is borne out by the markings of dates on the Pakistani plastic sand bags, which opened on our side being 170 metres from the IB on the Indian side having 25 feet depth with a two to three feet diameter. That by any logic, manufactured or otherwise, which Pakistan may put forth in claiming ”innocence” and not deep connivance and active help, stands smashed as its nearest post ‘Gulzar’ is only 700 metres from the tunnel. The anti tunnel drive already launched by the BSF needs to be intensified at vulnerable points along the IB as that country, in pursuance of its state policy keeps its efforts continuing, albeit its various agencies and sponsored groups. Deployment of ground penetrating radars to detect tunnels along this sensitive front which is prone to infiltration of terrorists , is a right and a needy step to be taken at the earliest.
It is beyond comprehension that knowing fully that all these 31 years , Pakistan could not achieve anything out of its sponsored terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and what could it get now by keeping it somehow alive only shows desperation of that country. All its trained and sponsored militants are getting killed every day in encounters with the security forces especially in Kashmir valley. Local people are least interested in the rhetoric and mechanisations of Pakistan and are busy with their day to day activities. Pakistan should realise that it was fighting a lost battle and what further it could get, was only a bloody nose for all belligerent and terror activities against this country.
