Jammu Border Continues To Be On High Alert

The border across the western frontier with Pakistan, especially in Jammu, will continue to be on high alert with the maximum available boots guarding it on the ground, officials said on Saturday, soon after India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all military actions against each other after four days of intense armed confrontation triggered by the Pahalgam terror attack — an agreement breached by Islamabad hours later.

NEW DELHI:

Officials in the Border Security Force (BSF), which guards 2526.86 km of the Indo-Pak International Border and 237.2 km of Line of Control, said the force will continue to be on high alert because of mass infiltration attempts (aided by Pakistan Rangers) in the last few days at the border along Jammu sector and a history of foreign terrorists attempting to infiltrate into India from there.
