There are no traces of the Taliban in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Army chief General Deepak Kapoor said on Tuesday and added that the force was prepared to check the surge in infiltration in the run-up to the elections.

"We have had no traces of Taliban. There are other elements like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)," he told reporters on the sidelines of an international seminar, responding to reports of involvement of certain Taliban elements in the infiltration in the valley.
