Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Monday (23 September) said Pakistan has reactivated its terror camps in Balakot.
Speaking to reporters here at the Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai Rawat said, “Balakot has been reactivated by Pakistan recently. It has been damaged and destroyed. Pakistan has got people back there.”
According to him, there are around 500 infiltrators ready to infiltrate into India.
He said the infiltrators shift their entry points depending on the climate.
The Army Chief said to push terrorists into India, Pakistan violates the ceasefire and the Indian Army knows how to deal with that.
Rawat said the army has pushed in more troops along the Line of Control (LoC).
The Indian Air Force (IAF) had carried out air strikes on terror camps in Balakot in February following the Pulwama attack on CRPF personnel in Kashmir.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
