Showing another example of alertness and swift action, the valiant personnel of security forces especially Border Security Force and Jammu and Kashmir Police have averted a major tragedy with recovery of 3 magnetic improvised explosive devices, smuggled into the Indian Territory from across the border with the help of a drone. As per the reports, after hearing some suspicious humming sound like that of a drone, on Monday night, the alert BSF personnel fired in the direction of sound, in Kanachak area near border. Soon after receiving the information, joint search operation was launched in the area to trace the drone or its pay load and after strenuous efforts, Police again witnessed a drone in Kantowala-Dayaran area of Kanachak in the Akhnoor sector, which was again targeted but after dropping the pay load, the flying machine managed to flee back into Pakistan Border. On search, the three IEDs with their timer set and packed inside Tiffin boxes were recovered, which were diffused successfully by Bomb Disposal Squad. As per a senior police officer, the attempts to smuggle such sticky bombs and IEDs with timer through, the Aerial route using drones are being made by the terrorists and ISI, as they want to target the ensuing Shri Amarnath Yatra. He further conveyed that as the intelligence agencies have already warned regarding usage of sticky bombs and IEDs for targeting Yatra vehicles, the security forces are maintaining an enhanced vigil over the same and the recovery along with the one made few days back near border are the result of the same. Seeking cooperation of people in tracing out and eliminating all the supporters of anti-national elements, he asked people to remain vigil and alert besides informing the nearby police post in case they notice any suspicious activity. Although, the terrorists are repeatedly trying to push in explosives and other weaponry into the border for halting the development process going on across J&K and disrupting the peaceful environment, still the people need not to worry as our valiant security personnel are standing like a rock and will never allow the enemy to succeed in its nefarious designs at any cost.
