Pakistani terrorists use ladder to climb over the electrified fence at the LoC

Four Pakistani terrorists had gained entry into India by using a ladder to climb over the electrified fence at the LoC - they then massacred 19 soldiers in cold blood in the Army camp of Uri last month.
Investigations carried out by the Army have brought to light the fact that one of the four terrorists who mounted the brazen attack in Uri, about 102 km from Srinagar, first infiltrated into Indian territory by taking advantage of the gaps along the fence near the Salamabad nallah. He then erected a ladder on the Indian side of the fence. The other three had a ladder on their side and the two ladders were connected like a pedestrian bridge.
This has been reported in thehindu.com dated 17 October 2016.

They used this method because it was difficult for all the four to infiltrate through the gap used by the first terrorist since each of them carried heavy rucksacks filled with ammunition, weapons and eatables.
After infiltrating into India, they handed over the ladder to the guides who had accompanied them up to the LoC to ensure that there were no tell-tale signs.
The Army is conducting an inquiry at Gohallan and adjoining village Jablah because they suspect that the terrorists might have holed up there before they carried out the attack on September 18.
