New Delhi, January 31
Security forces along the international border with Pakistan in the Punjab sector have detected several instances of Pakistani forces sneaking across to lay mines in the Indian territory in the past 10 days. So far, 16 anti-personnel mines and one anti-tank mine, with clear markings of Pakistani ordnance factories have been detected at Sehjra Bulge in the Ferozepore sector, according to Army officials here.

Asserting that it was clear that Pakistanis were making mischief by laying these mines, the officials said the first of these mines were detected last month.
