Following repeated incidents of arms dropping using drones by the Pakistan based handlers of terrorist outfits in different parts of Jammu region, the border security grid and security checkpoints along the National highway has been beefed up to prevent any major terror strike on a vital security installation in the region.
Inspector General of Police, Jammu Zone , Mukesh Singh Saturday chaired a high level meeting with the district police chiefs following apprehensions of 'subversive' activities by the anti national elements and reviewed the Border Security Grid and National Highway security.
In the recent weeks, several incidents of arms dropping along the International border in Samba and Kathua have come to light where local Over ground workers (OGW's) were tasked to ferry the arms and ammunition consignment to their conduits before handing them over to the commanders of different terrorist outfits. In many cases, these conduits have been caught red handed with arms consignment by the alert security forces but there are apprehensions that some of these consignments have been delivered 'successfully' without coming on the radar of the security forces.
In a separate meeting on Friday IGP, Jammu Mukesh Singh had directed the senior police officers to remain alert in their respective jurisdiction and ensure strict 'Naka' checking on the National Highway from Kashmir valley to Jammu region to prevent the movement of arms and terrorists in their region.
The meeting was attended by the senior police officers including range DIG's and district police chiefs of Jammu, Samba, Kathua and Udhampur.
During the security review meeting, detailed presentations were given by the senior officers discussing the three tier deployment of paramilitary forces along the International border and the counter terrorist grid in the region. Directions were issued to the police officers of these bordering districts to strengthen the intelligence network in the border belt and maintain tight vigil on the movement of suspected people in the area.
