New Delhi: Security forces at the India-Pakistan border have been put on high alert following an intelligence alert that terrorists are trying to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir.
As per the input, which has been shared with the forces and Border Security Force (BSF), “there is likely presence of armed terrorists in Bhimber Gali and Naushera sectors with an intention to infiltrate to carry out BAT (Border Action Team) action,” sources have told ANI agency.
The forces suspect that the BAT of Pakistan Army is facilitating terrorists who are planning to carry out action soon. There have been movement of terrorists towards the Indian side, and hence Indian forces have been advised to keep a close watch on activities in these areas.
The BAT consists of Pakistani army commandos and terrorists belonging to various terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Taiba, etc.
“There was no such input over the past few weeks, but after this input has come hours back, forces have been alerted, especially in two sectors. Patrolling has been enhanced and there will be extra deployments during the night. Any misadventures of Pakistan will be responded effectively,” ANI quoted a senior BSF official as saying.
The Indian Army, acting on specific intelligence inputs from Jammu & Kashmir Police last week, eliminated a terrorist close to the LoC at Bhimber Gali sector in Jammu division’s Rajouri district.
On Saturday morning, two terrorists were killed by the Indian Army at Nougam sector in north Kashmir along the LoC. The Army recovered arms and ammunition, along with Pakistani currency.
