Security forces have intensified surveillance along the LoC amid concerns of increased infiltration attempts before heavy snowfall blocks the mountain passes commonly used by infiltrators in winter.

Earlier this month, security forces foiled an infiltration attempt in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, killing two unidentified infiltrators.
