dated September 7, 1952: Infiltration from Azad Kashmir

It was reliably learnt in Jammu that measures had been taken to put an end to the infiltration of Muslims from "Azad Kashmir" and Pakistan into Jammu and Kashmir and all those trying to cross over would be pushed back. In fact, a large number of new entrants had already been sent back across the border. Infiltration, it was revealed, had assumed enormous proportions in the areas of Poonch and Rajouri in the south-west of the State, especially after the recent Nehru-Abdullah understanding on Kashmir which inter alia provided for the return of those Muslims who had migrated to Pakistan from this State during the disturbances in 1947 or afterwards.

The order for the exercise of the strictest vigilance on the border, it was emphasised, had been necessitated by what was described as mounting war hysteria in Pakistan and "Azad Kashmir."
