Pakistan's ISI directs overground workers in Kashmir to prepare new route for infiltration: Intel report

Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI has issued directives to its overground workers in Kashmir to prepare a route plan for infiltration, intelligence sources have said. 

This comes amid heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the abrogation of Article 370 which Islamabad has tried to raise on every international forum. After failing to get any traction, the frustrated Pakistani Army is relying on other options and planning to launch terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. 

Pakistan-based terrorists launch infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir every year during winter under the cover of snowfall. This year, the ISI has asked its overground workers in Kashmir to prepare a new route and start the recce ahead of winter. 

According to an intelligence report, they have been asked to recce forward locations of Army in Gurez Sector and prepare a map to reach the location. They have also been asked to get the GPS locations of Indian Army camps and nallahs in the area. 

Terrorists who are successful in infiltration are helped by local guides. These guides have links with different terror organisations operating in the region. 

According to the intelligence report, ISI has provided the terrorists who are ready to infiltrate with details of overground workers, their contacts near the Line of Control (LoC). 

The report also mentions the heightened movement of Pakistani Army in PoK. Areas such as Minimarg, Kamri, Dimel and Gultari, where both Pak army posts and terror camps exist, have seen these movements. 

These areas have also received arms and ammunition recently.
