New delhi date. Friday, July 30, 2021

A terrorist attack could take place on August 5, the anniversary of the repeal of Article 370 and Independence Day. With this in mind, a high alert has been issued in Jammu. According to intelligence sources, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba are planning to carry out IED attacks in Jammu. There is a conspiracy to target religious places.

A high alert has been issued in Jammu after receiving inputs about plans by Pakistan-backed militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba to attack temples to spread sectarian tensions.

Recent incidents of IEDs being dropped by drones have revealed that a Pakistan-backed militant group may be trying to plant explosives in crowded places near religious places in Jammu.

Facing the threat of drones in Jammu and Kashmir on Independence Day is a big challenge for security agencies. Police have devised an anti-drone strategy to counter it. ADGP Mukesh Singh recently said that tough measures have been taken to deal with it. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. However, anti-drone systems have been deployed in important and sensitive areas. Police have made preparations in collaboration with other security agencies.
