00:00Drone activities are there which we have been observing but it is restricted to other part

00:22of the lc that generally those are raki or surveillance drones which are not crossing the lc but yes

00:30drone are under our observation the infiltration modus has not very drastically changed except that

00:39some of the routes new routes they they are adopting and we get intelligence inputs about

00:46that and we are able to cover them along with coordination with indian army our int setup

00:53g setup has a very good int resources and they are able to provide us quite large number of inputs

01:05which result into various operations either it is relating to neutralization of the terrorist or

01:11recovery of warlike stores from the lc areas so our focus in lc area in close coordination is

01:21with army is very focused and every intelligence which is generated we follow it up properly so that

01:28any attempt which is being made for infiltration we are able to neutralize that and we have lot of

01:34success stories in that some operations done by indian army independently and some are done in coordination

01:42with dsf in hinterland we we are generally in support of jkp and we have 13 companies which are deployed in

01:53hinterland in hinterland as well as lc all these operations happen in close coordination with all

02:02other security agencies and they intelligence agencies and security agencies have been following up

02:10all these inputs of locals getting recruited and is being taken to logical conclusion yeah every security

02:21agencies and agencies working in kashmir frontier means kashmir valley have been focusing on such type of

02:31modules and the initiatives which we have been taking under civil action program to develop a lot of

02:39coordination and cooperation making the civil population as partners in national and internal

02:44security we are sure that such attempts will come to focus to us and we will be able to carry out some

02:52operations but how big the challenge is now challenge is big definitely and we have to identify such elements

02:59which are being uh which are being uh recruited silently and i think all the agencies have to work in

03:07coordination to bust such type of modules our int wing has been focusing on identifying uh institutions or

03:15places which are generally being used as radicalization centers and we inform all the agency relating to that

03:25that uh because the responsibility of uh means uh in hinterland we have only 13 companies which are in

03:33coordination with the uh jkp but uh you know in kashmir valley everything uh happens in synergy with all the

03:42security agencies so whatever information we that we share with the concerned agencies and based on that the

03:48uh modules are busted we have int input following the damage we had caused uh to launching pads of terrorists

03:57in jammu and kashmir frontier uh we have intelligence inputs uh which indicate that some of the launching

04:04pads have been uh moved from the forward areas to different locations so that they are not in the firing range

04:12uh of uh of uh indian army or bsf deployed on the lc we are very very much fully prepared and uh operations in rule continues and

04:25whenever there is misadventure from pakistan uh we are very much prepared and ready to give a very

04:34defeating reply to them we had these launching pads under our radar there is no doubt in that but the

04:40uh locations and the distances from the lc varies and uh uh sitting on the lc it may be difficult to target

04:50all the uh launching pads
