Pak handlers, terror groups hurt by peaceful atmosphere in J&K: DGP

On the recovery of a consignment of arms and ammunition from the Kupwara district of north Kashmir on Tuesday, the Director-General of Police (DGP) of J&K Dilbag Singh said Pakistan is trying to smuggle more weapons but a number of such attempts were foiled by the security forces both in Jammu and Kashmir divisions.

"They are sending every type of weapons like AK, pistols, and grenades. Pistol-bound terrorists mostly carry out attacks in the city and our effort is to bust all terror modules and seize the smuggled weapons," he said.

Terror groups and their handlers in Pakistan are hurt by the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir which is evident from the increased attempts to smuggle weapons from across the border and replace local stooges with Pakistani terrorists, he said.
