The Pakistan Army is continuing to strengthen its position along the Line of Control (LoC) on a war-footing as additional troops and military hardwares have been rushed there amid reports that the Peshawar-based 11 Corps deployed on the frontiers bordering Afghanistan have moved up to the LoC.
Security sources said personnel from the corps have been deployed in the entire stretch along the LoC bordering Rajouri, Poonch and Uri sectors during the past fortnight. The deployment of the corps is expected to boost the firepower and reinforce the rank and file of the 10 corps already deployed along the LoC. Meanwhile, movement of two tank regiments from the Gujranwala-based 30 corps have been witnessed near the areas bordering Kathua and Hiranagar sectors in the Jammu region. Another report today said a tank regiment has been moved closer to the border in Tawi river island and the eastern bank of Chenab river. Nearly 1 and 30 corps of Pakistan Army are the 'strike corps' and soon after their deployment about three months ago they had resorted to strike formations making their intentions very clear from the outset.
