Vigilance stepped up along Kashmir border

Security forces have increased vigilance along the LoC in Kashmir to check infiltration attempts from across the border before snow falls. The Indian Army has stepped up patrolling along the fence and has equipped its units with high-tech devices like powerful night-vision goggles to check any attempts by Pakistan-based militants to sneak in. Officials say Pakistan-based militant groups have stepped up infiltration into Kashmir across the LoC before winter snow blocks the high Himalayan mountain passes.
