Security has been tightened in Rajasthan along the country’s border with Pakistan but the villagers are not being moved to safety for now, official sources said on Thursday.
“Troops in Rajasthan are in a state of high alertness and preparedness to meet any eventuality,” Army sources said. A high-level meeting was called by Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria with senior security and State Government officials on Thursday.
“The meeting was called to review the situation on the border,” a State Government official said, adding that villagers living near the border in Rajasthan are not being evacuated at present.
"We are closely monitoring the situation and, in case of any emergency or any eventuality, we will review it," the official added.
