Jammu on high alert ahead of Republic Day

Jammu: Jammu is on high alert ahead of Republic Day.

BSF jawans searched the border areas for possible infiltrators. It was here in the Abdullian area of R S Pura sector that the border fence was cut. Not taking any chances, the Border Security Force (BSF) has brought in additional forces to help conduct searches.

"A few strands of border fence have been damaged during last night, this is the fencing which is under construction and BSF has not yet taken over the fencing," said J B Sanghwan, DIG, BSF.

It's not just the borders, checkpoints have been put up on all roads leading to Jammu city. The police say there are specific intelligence inputs of a militant strike around Republic Day.

"There are inputs that the militants would try and disturb the peace, we have increased the number of checking points in the city and the jawans have been put on an alert at the checking points," said Ashok Gupta, IG Police, Jammu.

Jammu is on a high alert ahead of the Republic Day and with the graph of infiltration suddenly shooting up, this time, the threat from militants seems even more real.
