Jammu: A top army official on Tuesday said that Indian troops are fully alert along the Line of Control to foil any infiltration bid, asserting that terror camps are still operational across the border. “Our troops deployed on the LoC are fully alert. If any infiltration bid is made by the enemy, we will foil them 100 per cent,” the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 16 Corps, Lt General Manjinder Singh, told reporters in Reasi on the sidelines of the unveiling of a sports calendar for 2022-2023.
