New Delhi, May 09 :
Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday reviewed the prevailing situation along India’s border with Pakistan and airports in the country amid the military conflict between the two countries, sources said.
The meeting came hours after the Border Security Force said it had foiled an infiltration bid from across the International Border in Jammu, killing at least seven terrorists and destroying a Pakistan Rangers post.
Apart from reviewing the security situation along the India-Pakistan border, Shah also took stock of the steps taken to beef up security at airports across the country, the sources said. While the BSF guards the India-Pakistan border, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) protects the airports in the country, Metro networks and other vital installations.
Those who attended the meeting included Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director of the Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka, Directors General of the BSF, CISF and the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. There has been heightened tension between India and Pakistan following India’s strike on multiple locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday and Pakistan’s attempts to hit Indian military sites on Thursday, which were thwarted by the Indian armed forces.
India launched Operation Sindoor and destroyed at least nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The Operation Sindoor was launched following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people, including a Nepali citizen.
