Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], Jan 15 (ANI): The Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) on Monday informed that the security forces were tipped-off about the possible attempts to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir's Uri sector, beforehand.

In a joint operation, the Jammu and Kashmir's police, Army and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) foiled the infiltration bid by the terrorists.
