Three infiltration bids by heavily-armed terrorists, aided by cover fire by Pakistani troops, were foiled in the past 36 hours along the International Border in Hiranagar sector of Jammu and Kashmir, BSF said today.

There have been six infiltration bids in the past 12 days along IB in Jammu frontier, it said, adding Pakistan has been relentlessly trying to push heavily-armed militants into India with nefarious intention of disturbing peace and cause causalities of security forces in the hinterland.

"There were three attempts of infiltration by groups of terrorists which have been successfully foiled by the alert BSF troops in the face of danger to their lives," BSF DIG Dharmendra Pareek said in Jammu.

He said the attempts were made on Saturday and Sunday under the cover of heavy cross-border firing and shelling by Pakistani Rangers in Hiranagar sector of Kathua.
