According to KNO correspondent, the army commander said: “Despite successful anti militancy operations and non initiation of combat operations(NICO) in the fasting month of Ramadan, the state witnessed successful and peaceful elections—local bodies and panchayat polls." He said due to very robust counter infiltration grid at the loc, most of the infiltrators see either killed on the LoC on close to the fence.
