During the recent visit of Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde to Kashmir Valley, detailed discussions took place on construction of a permanent fence along the LoC, where each year 83 km of fencing is damaged due to snowfall or avalanches, official sources said today.
Out of the 740 km long stretch of LoC, India has built fence along 550 km, work on which was completed in 2004.
However, due to repeated damage to fence by heavy snow, terrorists from across the border used to take advantage and infiltrate into the Valley.
As per the proposal, a brain child of Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police Ashok Prasad, the Union Home Ministry will send a team of experts comprising civil engineers from reputed institutions to the LoC to carry out a detailed feasibility study of erecting a permanent fence, the sources said.
During the first phase, the Centre plans to seal nearly 40 routes which have traditionally been used by terrorists to infiltrate into the Valley and these are mainly in North Kashmir areas like Kupwara, Gurez, Uri and Keran and Doda district of Jammu region.
Every year nearly 83 km of the fencing along the LoC especially in North Kashmir's Gurez, Karnah, Kupwara and Gulmarg sectors is damaged which allows militants to infiltrate into the Kashmir Valley and other parts of the state, the sources said.
They said the team of experts also comprising officials from Indian Meteorological Department would also identify highly avalanche prone areas after taking into account average snowfall for the last one decade.
