BSF Fires to Foil Infiltration Bid


The Border Security Force (BSF) fired twice after noticing "suspicious movement" along Jammu and Kashmir's border with Pakistan early Sunday. BSF Inspector General (Jammu Frontier) AK Saroolia later said BSF personnel in Kanachak area spotted two to three people at 0230 hours and opened fire at them.

The infiltrators were again noticed at around 5 a.m. and the guards fired again. "We saw some footprints in the area this morning... It could be an infiltration attempt."

Security forces along the border are on high alert in the run up to the Republic Day on Monday.
