Army and BSF intensify surveillance along LoC and International Border ahead of Republic Day celebrations

In Jammu and Kashmir, security has been tightened ahead of the Republic Day celebrations. Army and BSF have intensified surveillance along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB), and the police and CRPF have been guarding vulnerable areas in the hinterland.

Foolproof security arrangements have been made at the Maulana Azad Stadium, Jammu, where Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha will unfurl the tricolor and address the Republic Day function. Special Nakas have been laid at various places by the police to check passing vehicles.

There has been a special focus on the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch, where security forces were conducting searches at different places. Security agencies have been asked to remain alert and not allow anyone to disturb law and order, and vitiate peace.
