"You would have seen that in the recent past a lot of infiltration attempts (in Jammu and Kashmir) have been thwarted but with the elections coming up later this year in that state you can only expect them to increase," NSG chief J N Choudhury said at a security conference here.
The National Security Guard (NSG) Director General also warned that India stands to face the challenge of big terrorist attack like incidents.
"The threat from Pak-based terror outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen or the Indian Mujahideen (IM), which primarily works out of Karachi in Pakistan, is very real," the DG said at an event organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
He said the future terror attacks could be of the 'black swan' variety.
"Responding to these threats is complex as they (terror masterminds) have a global footprint, their operations, financing etc. Are planned out of the country," he said.
