Amid reports of a Kargil-like intrusion in Keran sector of north Kashmir's Kupwara district near the Line of Control (LoC), the Indian Army on Wednesday clarified it as a massive infiltration attempt and said holed up militants inside the Indian territory would be flushed out.
In unequivocal terms the Army said the area was under control of the Indian army. However, they refused to give a time frame as to when the anit-infiltration operation - which started on September 24 - will end.

Lt General Gurmit Singh, GoC-in-C of Srinagar based 15-Corps, said infiltrators were seen in the Keran sector on September 24. He said a flushing out operation was launched and some 12 militants were killed. However, the Army has not recovered their bodies so far. The GoC said that the bodies of the militants were inconsequential for him, adding that some 30 to 40 militants were still holed-up in the area, which has been cordoned off.
