The Indian Army has significantly tightened security protocols along the Line of Control (LoC) and within the Union Territory, deploying additional troops and implementing advanced surveillance technologies.
Recent Incident in Keran Sector Highlights Tensions
A brief exchange of fire occurred in the Keran sector of Kupwara district when Pakistani troops reportedly targeted Indian Army personnel who were installing sophisticated high-tech surveillance cameras along the border. The Indian Army responded with a calibrated and precise shot, demonstrating restraint while maintaining defensive readiness. This incident underscores the ongoing volatility in the region as security forces ramp up preparations for national celebrations.
Comprehensive Security Deployment Across Key Districts
Security has been intensified across multiple districts including Rajouri, Poonch, Jammu, and Srinagar. The comprehensive security framework includes:
- Enhanced highway patrols to monitor and secure major transportation routes
- Implementation of counter-drone measures to prevent aerial threats
- Rigorous security checks at soft targets and crowded public spaces
- Increased presence of security personnel at strategic locations
Ongoing Operations and Additional Troop Deployment
In Kishtwar district, the ongoing search operation has entered its fourth day, with additional troops deployed to support the mission. This sustained operation reflects the security forces' commitment to maintaining stability and preventing any disruptive activities during the Republic Day period.
The collective security measures aim to create a robust protective shield that ensures safe and peaceful Republic Day celebrations throughout Jammu and Kashmir. The heightened vigil represents a multi-layered approach to security that addresses both conventional and emerging threats in the region.
