Alert in villages bordering Jammu
AMRITSAR: Border Security Force (BSF) has sounded an alert in the villages bordering Jammu following the heavy shelling on the Indo-Pak border in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sources said residents in Dhinda Forward, Dhinda and Simbal villages, which are close to Jammu, have been asked to switch off the lights in their homes during night and remain always alert. Punjab's first international border pillar number 1, which marks international boundary with Pakistan, is at Dhinda Forward.
"There is shelling going on just 2km away from our post, so how can we be quiet, we have to make people aware of any impending danger," said BSF Inspector General, Frontier, Ashok Kumar.

Given the sensitivity of the area, the BSF has installed highly sophisticated armoury, including Long Range Reconnaissance and Observation System (LORROS), which has day and night sensing platform, light machine guns, medium machine guns and grenade launchers at Dhinda Post, which faces Pakistan's Masrur Bara Bhai village.
Sources told TOI that this kind of armoury was installed only at a few border outposts in Punjab. Masrur Bara Bhai village of Pakistan is known to be the place from where Pakistan's ISI-trained terrorists are being pushed into India.
