Mar. 18: The defence minister, Mr V.K. Krishna Menon, disclosed in the Lok Sabha today that India had protested to Pakistan against violations of her airspace by Pakistan aircraft between January 15 and February 23 last.
Making a statement on air violations in the NEFA and other areas, Mr Menon said that intrusions by Pakistan aircraft had taken place in the Punjab and West Bengal areas. In the NEFA area, between February 6 and 23, government had received about 42 reports of having heard sounds of aircraft or having seen some lights.
Though these aircraft had not been identified, from the collation of reports, “our experts consider that these flights appear to follow a pattern wherein sounds disappeared towards the north and the experts have certain views about their purpose.”
He assured the House that a strict vigilance was being kept on violations of Indian air space and all steps possible were being taken to identify foreign aircraft.
Asked by Dr Ram Subhag Singh whether it was not possible to shoot down these aircraft in the NEFA area, Mr Menon said that the aircraft had not been identified.
