The Jammu and Kashmir Police have issued an alert to the Village Defence Guards (VDG) and Border Police Posts (BPP) in response to intelligence inputs suggesting that terrorists might attempt to infiltrate from the border areas in the Jammu division.
Inspector General (IG) Bhim Sen Tuti, accompanied by senior police officials, visited the Akhnoor sector, where he met with BPP personnel and VDG members, urging them to remain vigilant. The senior police official also interacted with Border Security Force (BSF) and Army personnel stationed in the area to assess the security situation, following recent incidents along the border.
During his visit, Tuti engaged with local police officials, stressing the importance of maintaining high morale and operational readiness. He conducted a thorough review of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) and assessed the preparedness for the implementation of new criminal laws. A major focus of the visit was the evaluation of the Border Management Grid along the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC), where Tuti personally inspected security arrangements and emphasised the need for seamless coordination between security agencies.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Rural Jammu, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Akhnoor, and Station House Officer (SHO) Akhnoor provided detailed briefings on crime and security conditions within their areas.
Addressing police personnel, IG Tuti directed them to remain extra vigilant and activate all police infrastructure within their Areas of Responsibility (AORs). He highlighted the importance of alerting VDGs, Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs), and Border Police Posts, and urged enhanced coordination with the BSF and the Indian Army.
Tuti also held a detailed meeting with the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 10 Division, Indian Army, Akhnoor, to discuss collaborative strategies for ensuring peace and security in the region.
