Security Escalated in Akhnoor Area of Jammu District on 5th Anniversary of Article 370 Abrogation

The Jammu and Kashmir Police have increased patrolling in the Akhnoor LoC area by setting up checkposts at various places.

Security has been beefed up in the Akhnoor area of Jammu district on Monday ahead of the 5th anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 in the Union Territory.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police have increased patrolling in the Akhnoor LoC area by setting up checkposts at various places.

Along with the Jammu and Kashmir Police, other security agencies are also on high alert.

The vehicles and documents are also being thoroughly checked.

On August 5, 2019, Article 370 was abrogated, taking away Jammu and Kashmir's special status and statehood and splitting it into two Union Territories.

From city to village, strict surveillance is being done so that any kind of infiltration or other incidents from Pakistan can be prevented.

"Looking at the terrorist activity, we are always alert, be it August 5 or August 15. We cannot say everything regarding our security preparations to the camera; we want to assure everybody that we are not leaving any stone unturned when it comes to security," said South Jammu Superintendent of Police, Ajay Sharma.

In recent months, there has been a spike in terror attacks in the Jammu region, including an attack on an army convoy in Kathua and encounters in Doda and Udhampur.

In July, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) informed the Lok Sabha that a total of 28 people, including civilians and security personnel, were killed in 11 terror-related incidents and 24 encounters or counterterror operations up to July 21 this year.

Last month, one Pakistani intruder was killed as Indian Army troops foiled an attack by the Pakistan Border Action Team (BAT) along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Machchal sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district.

One Indian Army soldier lost his life, while four others, including a major-rank officer, sustained injuries in the attack.
