Two security forces in separate reports to the Centre have confirmed troop mobilisation by Pakistan close to the border.
New Delhi: Fearing surgical strikes by India following the Uri attack, Pakistan has started mobilisation of troops along the Line of Control and the International Border. Interestingly, mobilisation of troops by Pakistan is not just restricted to the northern sector in Jammu and Kashmir, but troop build up has also been spotted along the western sector in Rajasthan.
The issue was flagged during the meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital on Wednesday. Both the BSF and the Army that are responsible for guarding the border and the LoC respectively have been asked to maintain a high degree of vigil.
The two security forces in separate reports to the Centre have also confirmed troop mobilisation by Pakistan close to the border. Sources said it was surprising that Pakistan was deploying additional troops along the western sector also but this could well be a preventive measure on its part.
In fact, during a high- level meeting headed by the Prime Minister on Monday, instructions were issued to the security forces to remain alert along the western sector also.
While confirming troop build up by Pakistan, a senior security official said, “we have noticed a lot of activity by Pakistani forces along the Rajasthan border also in sectors like Ganganagar and Barmer. Our security forces on the ground are alert and closely monitoring every development.’’
Even while the CCS discussed various possibilities of a retaliatory offensive by the Indian forces, sources said any armed action will not be taken in undue haste as India would examine all possibilities of cornering Pakistan at the diplomatic and economic level fronts also. The prevailing security situation in the Valley post Uri attack was reviewed at length during the meeting.
