Jammu: Not a single
incident of intrusion from Pakistan took place in the last six
months along the international border in the Jammu region due to
vigil by the Border Security Force (BSF), an official said
Wednesday.
The security forces have also stepped up vigil along the
international border (IB) after the Jan 8 killing of two Indian
soldiers by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control (LoC) in
Mendhar sector of Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The BSF intensified its vigil along the 198-km long international
border (IB) following the discovery of a 400-metre long and
20-foot deep tunnel that originated from Pakistan into the Indian
side July 28, 2012, BSF Inspector General Ravi Krishna told
reporters.
"We had taken a serious note of this misadventure of Pakistan and
lodged a strong protest with Pakistani Rangers on the issue, and
on our own side we stepped up the vigil on the border as also
strengthened our intelligence network," he said.
"There has been no incident of intrusion across the IB
(international border) since then," he added.
The official's comment came amid a continuing row between India
and Pakistan over the Jan 8 incident, in which two Indian soldiers
were brutally killed, one of whom was beheaded, by Pakistanis.
