Jammu, Jan 1 (NationPress) Vigilant troops of the Border Security Force (BSF) took decisive action on Wednesday, opening fire after noticing suspicious movement along the international border (IB) in the R.S. Pura sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
A spokesperson for the BSF stated that the troops reacted quickly upon detecting unusual activity at the IB in the R.S. Pura sector earlier this morning.
“The incident transpired when a BSF sentry spotted movement from the Pakistani side, necessitating immediate response.
“To prevent any possible infiltration, over a dozen rounds were discharged. Following this event, a search operation was initiated in the forward regions,” the spokesperson elaborated.
The Army and BSF, who are responsible for monitoring the Line of Control (LoC) and the IB in Jammu and Kashmir, are maintaining a high state of alert to thwart any intrusions from the Pakistani side that could disrupt peace in the union territory.
In addition, police and security forces are on heightened alert along the border and in the hinterland due to reports of terrorists awaiting opportunities to cross into India from Pakistan.
Intelligence agencies suspect that following the peaceful and participatory Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the handlers of terrorism in Pakistan have become frustrated and instructed terrorists to make a final push for the dwindling terrorism in the region.
This context follows an incident on October 20 of last year when two terrorists—a foreign mercenary and a local militant—opened fire indiscriminately at a workers' camp in the Gagangir area of Ganderbal district.
That attack resulted in the deaths of seven civilians, including six non-local workers from an infrastructure development company and a local doctor.
On October 24, 2024, an army vehicle was ambushed by terrorists in the Botapathri area of Gulmarg, leading to the deaths of three soldiers and two civilian porters.
Additionally, on November 2, 2024, terrorists launched a grenade attack at the bustling Sunday Market near the tourist reception center (TRC) in Srinagar.
A 42-year-old woman, a mother of three, lost her life in that incident, while nine other civilians sustained injuries.
