| Woes of border dwellers: Pak sending drones; J&K Govt resorts to power cuts | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 23: The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on early Monday opened fire at an unidentified flying object along the Indo-Pak International Border in the Arnia sector of the Jammu district. After being fired by the BSF personnel, the drone returned to Pakistan.
The drone was spotted in the same belt where people are agitating against unprecedented power cuts. Pakistani controlled drone was spotted on Monday morning in Arnia sector where power is a luxury, thanks to arrogant Babus who are more worried over getting all luxuries in their localities.
“Today morning at about 5.30 am, a blinking red and yellow light in the sky was observed by our forward troops in Arnia sector near the IB. Our troops immediately fired 25 LMG rounds on the flying object due to which it gained some height and went towards the Pakistani side. The area is being searched with help of police”, a spokesman of BSF said.
“The area is being scanned by the security forces but nothing has been found so far”, BSF officers said.
An alert has been sounded after spotting a drone hovering over the border villages of the Jammu district. Additional forces have been developed in the areas to conduct intensive search operations, especially in the area where a drone was reportedly spotted.
Keeping in view the repeated intrusion of drones, higher-ups in the police have already directed the officers to remain alert to foil the dangerous game plans of the anti-national forces. A massive search operation has already been launched by the local police with the help of villagers in the Arnia sector and adjoining localities near IB.
Non-availability of power has posed the biggest security threat in this border region neglected by successive governments at the helm of the affairs.
Instead of supplying basic amenities to the border dwellers, suffixed with the title of ‘strategic assets’ by Defence minister Rajnath Singh, this new breed of Babus in J&K is more particular about their own luxuries.
Meanwhile, tension flared up in the border belt where a Pakistan-controlled drone was spotted this morning. Villagers have been asked to keep a watch on the movement of unknown persons in their respective areas.
On July 24, Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed they shot down a Pakistani drone carrying a five kg improvised explosive device in the Kanachak area of the Akhnoor sector. Kanachak is a border area in the Jammu district. |
