The recent killing of four terrorists in an encounter with the security forces in the Ban area of Nagrota on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway points to Pakistan's plot to disrupt the upcoming District Development Council (DDC) polls in Jammu and Kashmir, according to the Indian intelligence agencies.

According to the inputs gathered by the intelligence agencies, a huge quantity of arms and ammunitions recovered from the four slain terrorists points to the involvement of Pakistan and its notorious spy agency ISI in the conspiracy to disrupt the DDC elections scheduled to be held in J&K this month.

It may be noted that four suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists were killed in the encounter near the toll plaza in Ban area of Nagrota on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway on November 19.

These four slain terrorists were on their way to the Kashmir valley to disturb the District Development Council (DDC) polls scheduled later this month as part of a conspiracy hatched by Pakistan to disrupt the political process in J&K, the inputs said.

According to inputs collected by the intelligence agencies, about 150 terrorists have been waiting for an opportune time at nearly 20 launching pads in PoK to infiltrate into the Indian side from Jammu with the help of the Pakistan Army.

Besides, several groups of terrorists are also actively making infiltration bids from the Pakistan side into areas adjacent to Poonch, Krishna valley, Bheember Gali, Nowshera, the report said.
