No Kargil like situation in Keran sector: General Bikram Singh

New Delhi – Asserting that there is no Kargil like situation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Keran sector, Army Chief General Bikram Singh on Friday said the terrorists will be flushed out soon.

“There is nothing like that. It was an infiltration attempt by about 30 to 40 terrorists; they attempted this infiltration at four or five places. We had information about it. They have been stopped, prevented, neutralized some of them and operations are on to flush them out,” said General Singh, when asked that there are media speculations about the present situation in Keran Sector being another Kargil.

“No village has been occupied. It’s an area where they have come in, we are dominating from all sides and the terrorists are holed up. It’s a broken ground, it’s very difficult terrain; they are stuck in that and we will take them on,” he added.

Two terrorists were killed as the army foiled an infiltration bid at Gujjardur in Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir today.
