“A spurt in infiltration has been seen after the general elections and the number did rise in the last two to three months from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan,” Chidambaram told reporters here.

The home minister, however, said that infiltration is likely to come down during the winter.

“We have not been able to completely stop infiltration but have brought it down due to strict vigilance by our security forces,” he said.

Chidambaram said that terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is solely due to infiltration across the border.
