New Delhi: Indian Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane said that there was an increase in seizure of arms and ammunition from Afghanistan in Kashmir.
“There is definitely an increase in the number of weapons and other equipment, especially night-vision devices that we are capturing or unearthing, which definitely have come from Afghanistan," he said.
He added that there were also apprehensions that after Taliban took over Afghanistan last August, the mujahideens would be pushed into Kashmir by Pakistan.
“When the previous Taliban regime was there in Afghanistan in the early 2000s, we did have a little spillover. We had captured or killed Afghan terrorists (in Kashmir) also,” Naravane had said the recently-concluded Raisina Dialogue.
Last month, General Naravane and other top military commanders reviewed deployments of troops at Western and Northern borders.
The military top brass had discussed the force preparedness at Line of Actual Control with China and the Line of Control with Pakistan.
Recently, two foreign Militants were killed in a military operation (encounter) at Jammu's sunjwan area and J&K Police identified them as pashtuns (Afghans.)
