The DG reviewed the security situation and the operational preparedness of the troops with senior BSF officials.
Agrawal is currently on a visit to the Jammu region.
D K Boora, Inspector General, BSF, Jammu frontier, briefed Agrawal about the security situation here.
The BSF chief is reported to have called for maintaining strict surveillance along the International Border in Jammu sector to ensure that the terrorists don’t manage to take advantage of dense fog these days for infiltration into this side.
Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts which share international boundary with Pakistan have been witnessing dense fog these days. However, the BSF personnel have been maintaining very high alert along the borders to ensure that there is no infiltration from Pakistan side.
Agrawal is reported to have taken comprehensive review of preparedness of the BSF personnel along the International Border from Lakhanpur to Akhnoor and issued necessary directions for heightened surveillance.
The BSF DG also visited various border outposts in Jammu’s Akhnoor sector on August 9 last year and exhorted the troops to maintain effective domination to successfully meet the challenges from across the frontier.
