Army finds 150-metre long tunnel near LoC
- 5 years ago
A 150-metre long tunnel, which was recently discovered near a forward post along the Indo-Pak border in Jammu region’s sensitive Pallanwala sector, was apparently aimed at infiltrating terrorists, a Defence spokesperson said here on Tuesday.
“Having failed to infiltrate terrorists across the Line of Control in the Jammu Division, there was an attempt to construct a tunnel across the Line of Control (to facilitate infiltration)”, he said.
The tunnel, which was discovered on August 22, 2014, was approximately 130 to 150 metres in length along the Line of Control (LoC) and originated on the Pakistan side, spokesman said.
The tunnel was approximately 20 feet below ground level and was four feet high, he added.
A senior Army officer at Udhampur-based Northern Command headquarters felt that tunnel has been dug up with origin from Pakistan with a design probably to push in terrorists and carry out smuggling of weapons and drugs and narcotic substances to keep the pot of militants boiling.
