According to the sources, there are 230,000 Security Force (SF) personnel from the Army and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) in the “hinterland” in the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and an additional 113,000 SF personnel along the Line of Control (LoC), reports Indian Express. This is the number of SF personnel in the region since August 5, 2019, when the government decided to bifurcate the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and scrap its special status. Army sources also said there isn’t a “massive mismatch” in the strength of Indian and Pakistan troops along LoC. Pakistan, the sources said, have nearly 90,000 personnel along the LoC. Of the 90,000 Pakistani soldiers, 28,000 belong to the infantry and are stationed opposite Indian Army’s 15 and 16 Corps, they said. Sources said there are over 2,000 troops of Pakistani special forces along the LoC, which is “much more” than what India has. Pakistan uses them to push terrorists into India.
