Agencies, forces fortify sensitive areas in Jammu

Jammu, July 31
An alert has been sounded across Jammu region ahead of August 5, which will mark the fifth anniversary of abrogation of Article 370, for which intelligence agencies and security forces have fortified sensitive areas in the division.
Army, police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have intensified vigilance in Doda, Rajouri, Poonch, Kathua, Jammu and Kishtwar districts where they have received inputs that terrorists might try to usurp peace.
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Jammu region, Anand Jain, held a meeting on Monday evening to take an overview of the security situation for August 5 and Independence Day celebrations across the Union Territory.
Security forces are also keeping the civil administration in loop for the preparations ahead of the two important events.

During the meeting heaed by Jain, discussion was held on the inputs shared by intelligence agencies, Army, CRPF, BSF, and CID, ensuring a coordinated approach to address any security concerns.
ADGP Jain underscored the importance of inter-agency cooperation to mitigate these threats as well as heightened vigil in border areas and the hinterland to prevent infiltration attempts. — PTI
