Security tightened at Rajasthan border

JODHPUR: As per highly placed officials, there is an increased threat perception of attacks, similar to Uri and Pathankot air base, on military and paramilitary bases in Rajasthan. BSF is on high alert.
Officials said that the latest intelligence inputs hint at the possibility of infiltration bids along more than 1,000 km long international border in Rajasthan from the militant bases in southern Punjab in Pakistan.
"We got information that the infiltrators active in Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan in Pakistan are planning to intrude into the Indian territory from Rajasthan border. After the Pathankot attack, borders in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir were on high alert and scanned thoroughly. That makes Rajasthan an easier bid for these elements trying to sneak into the Indian territory as per the intelligence inputs from BSF and other central and state agencies", said an official.
