With fog and haze engulfing areas along International Border (IB) in Jammu and threat of infiltration rising, Additional Director General of BSF’s Western Command Satish S Khandare reviewed the security situation along the International Border with Pakistan here, officials said on Wednesday.

In an official statement on X, the BSF stated “ADG BSF (western command) Satish S Khandare visited border areas in Jammu and was briefed on the operational aspects by the field commanders”.

The BSF, guarding the IB and parts of Line of Control (LoC), is on high alert as terrorists are trying to make desperate attempts to enter into the Indian territory. The high mountain reaches have received snow due to which the ultras may try to infiltrate through IB and other areas along LoC.

Inspector General of BSF, Jammu frontier, DK Boora and other senior officers received Khandare and accompanied him during his visit to the border areas in Jammu and Rajouri.

While talking to media, the ADG said the BSF is guarding the IB and parts of LoC with professionalism and alertness. “We are coordinating with J&K Police, CRPF and Army and dealing with the security threats in a professional manner,” he said.

Meanwhile, IG DK Boora said that BSF is alert to deal with any attempt by terrorists to infiltrate into this side of the border. He said that even if terrorists manage to infiltrate from anywhere, there are measures in place to neutralise them before they reach the hinterland.

Boora furthers said, “Our neighboring country always tries to push terrorists into the Indian territory. I want to assure the people that our protection grid is very strong, which is accompanied with hi-tech weapons and adequate manpower.”

“There is no challenge as winter comes every year along with foggy conditions. All our forces are fully alert to counter any threat. Every year, the situation is reviewed and accordingly measures are taken,” Boora said.
