In the statement, the Army said, "There has been no such incursion. The area being referred to in the media report on 'some electronic channels', is the area of Fish Tail. There is a differing perception of the alignment of the Line of Control, as in many other areas."

"The nallah with the name of Dimaru where the wooden bridge is claimed could not be traced," said an army source.
