Jammu: Claiming that seven infiltration attempts have been foiled so far this year, Inspector General Border Security Force, Jammu Frontier, D K Boora on Wednesday said that the international border is incident free and completely safe and secure.
He was speaking to the media on the eve of BSF Raising Day here at Paloura based Jammu Frontier Headquarters.
“The borders in Jammu are completely secure. Though infiltration attempts were made from across the border several times but every time they had to face a defeat,” said the IG.
He added, “there were seven infiltration attempts made by infiltrators so far this year along the India-Pakistan international border but our alert jawans successfully foiled them.”
Not only this, Boora said that a large quantity of weapons and drugs were also recovered during the drone dropping or infiltration, including four AK-47 rifles, seven pistols and 50 kgs of narcotic heroin etc.
“It does not matter to us whether there is a terrorist network across the border in Pakistan or not, whoever the enemy may be, we are capable of elimitating him,” he said.
“Border Security Force is doing a good job. Despite several attempts by the neighboring country, the borders have been kept incident-free,” he added and said, “not only the jawans, but the border dwellers are also acting as ears and eyes to the force.”
He said that the BSF is also encouraging farmers with full security who are engaged in farming close to the fence.
