In Jammu and Kashmir, the Additional Director General of BSF’s western command Satish S Khandare today reviewed the security situation along the International Border with Pakistan in Jammu.

ADG BSF visited border areas in Jammu and was briefed on the operational aspects by the field commanders. Inspector General of BSF, Jammu frontier, D K Boora and other senior officers received Khandare and accompanied him during his visit to the border areas in the Jammu sector.

The border guarding force deployed along the International Border (IB) in the Jammu sector, besides some parts of the Line of Control (LoC), is on high alert to ensure zero infiltration of terrorists and smuggling of weapons and narcotics from across the border. As most of the infiltration routes are blocked by heavy snowfall along the LoC in Kashmir and south of Pir Panjal in the Jammu region during winter months; the terror handlers shift their focus on the International Border and other plain areas of Jammu to push heavily armed terrorists by exploiting foggy conditions. The ADG, Western command, chaired a high-level meeting at the BSF headquarters and was briefed on the operational aspects by the field commanders.
