Authorities have deployed 57 additional companies across seven border states including Punjab.
As the festive season is ahead, Punjab has tightened its security. Being a border state, there comes a major need of strengthening security for ensuring public safety.
Directorate General of Punjab (DGP), Gaurav Yadav on Monday made the matter into notice. This was declared after he chaired a high-level meeting with the state Police officials.
DGP reportedly claimed that following Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has been trying to disrupt the peace in India. And, Punjab, being a border state becomes its target. He mentioned that Pakistan’s Inter-services Intelligence (ISI) has made several attempts to spread violence in Punjab.
And to counter such, the Punjab authorities have significantly deployed 57 additional companies across seven border states under which Punjab is the one. Under the 57 additional security forces, seven are from the Border Security Force (BSF).
While DGP addressed the media, he highlighted that Punjab Police has done great to ensure public safety, recently dismantled 26 terror modules and arrested 88 people connected to such networks.
Continuing his words, he revealed that the flood situations in Punjab have increased the cross border smuggling of drugs and weapons in India from Pakistan.
Notably, the Police officials with the supporting BSF in the recent weeks have stopped several trafficking attempts.
He further mentioned that recently Pakistan based anti-national elements are also sending small weapons and smuggling goods. Reportedly, 78 pistols have been recovered in recent periods.
