FENCING
IN LOC
The Army has undertaken
selective fencing along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu &
Kashmir (J&K) as a measure to check infiltration of terrorists.
In certain areas where the fencing is close to the Line of Control,
Pakistan attempts to hinder the fence construction.
A frontage of about
110 km out of a total 523 km that has been planned for fencing
along the LoC in J&K is in progress and expected to be completed
by the middle of 2004. Thereafter, the remaining work will be
progressed.
This information
was given by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written
reply to Shri Chada Suresh Reddy in Lok Sabha today.
