Several live bombs and IEDs have been successfully defused so far by the security forces.
Live bombs and IEDs have been secretly planted along the LoC by Pakistan-trained infiltrators with an aim to foment trouble for the security forces guarding the international borders.
The move comes in the wake of fresh incidents of cross-border infiltration by a large number of Pakistan-backed terrorists.
The Army has in the recent past stepped up its counter-terrorism measures and eliminated many wanted terrorists, in a big setback to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Jamaat-ud-Dawah, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and the Lashkar-e-Toiba.
