JAMMU:
The security has been stepped up ahead of annual Chambliyal mela scheduled to be held on June 25 along Indo-Pak international border, said Inspector General BSF here today.
“We have made elaborate arrangements for smooth conduct of annual feature, which is an example of bonhomie between two neighbours,” Rakesh Sharma–IG BSF told mediapersons here on the sidelines of International Yoga Day at BSF headquarters.
He said adequate security has been put in place while borderguards have been asked to strengthen the vigil. On a question regarding inputs that terrorists may strike Chambliyal mela in the Pakistani Rangers uniform, the IG said, “We have too intercepted such inputs but there is nothing specific in it. We are on alert and if required will also share such information of utmost importance with our counterpart.”
Meanwhile, according to BSF sources, the Pakistani Rangers, who have yet to confirm their participation at an event, may not hold a joint media briefing with BSF at the Zeroline. Sources however, said the proposed DGMO level meeting has also been cancelled. (AGENCIES)
