The Border Security Force (BSF) has “hugely” bolstered its manpower and deployed CCTVs along the Punjab-Jammu inter-state border to fortify security in the wake of a spurt in terrorist incidents in Jammu along the India-Pakistan front, the forces’ Punjab frontier chief said on Friday.

Inspector General (IG) Atul Fulzele told reporters during a press conference at its frontier headquarters here that the additional troops have been deployed along the Gurdaspur area in Pathankot district that abuts Jammu.

“We used to have linear deployment here but now we have set up nakas (posts) in depth with additional deployment points and CCTVs installed in large numbers. We are fully alert in this area,” he said.

The enhancement in these security measures comes in the wake of increased terrorist activities in the Jammu region leading to the killing of more than 20 security personnel and civilians over the last few months.
