The Indian Army, along with other security forces, maintains 24/7 surveillance along the LoC and the hinterland to prevent infiltration before the mountain passes are closed due to heavy snowfall in winter.

The number of infiltrating terrorist could be around 100.
Army, security forces, and Jammu and Kashmir Police continue to carry out aggressive anti-terrorist operations across the union territory. These efforts target active terrorists, overground workers (OGWs), and sympathisers, aiming to dismantle the local terror infrastructure and prevent attacks on civilians and security personnel.
The LoC in Jammu and Kashmir spans approximately 740 km, covering areas in Baramulla, Kupwara, Bandipora, and parts of Jammu district. The International Border (IB), guarded primarily by the Border Security Force (BSF), stretches for 240 km across Jammu, Samba, and Kathua districts. While the Army secures the LoC, the BSF is responsible for guarding the IB.
Terror operators across the LoC and IB have increasingly relied on drones to transport arms, ammunition, drugs, and cash to sustain terrorist activities in the region.
These payloads are retrieved by OGWs, associates, or sympathisers and passed on to active terrorists. In response, the Army and BSF have deployed specialized anti-drone equipment to detect and neutralize such threats along both borders.
