Today, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi is scheduled to visit Jammu to assess the security situation amidst a surge in terror activities. His visit comes against the backdrop of increased troop deployments and the adoption of advanced surveillance technologies to bolster security measures.
During his visit, General Dwivedi will receive briefings from formation commanders regarding ongoing operations and strategic deployments by security forces. Additionally, he will conduct a review meeting with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and visit border areas critical to security concerns.
According to sources from the Ministry of Home Affairs, security personnel will be stationed at more than 50 locations across the region, with a particular focus on hilly terrains. Advanced surveillance tools like the Foliage Penetration Radar, integrated with night vision capabilities and signal processing techniques, will be employed to monitor and thwart infiltration attempts by terrorists into the Valley.
Top security sources have disclosed that approximately 55 terrorists are currently active in the Jammu region, prompting the Indian Army to redeploy its forces and intensify operations against these highly trained infiltrators, believed to have crossed over from Pakistan.
In response to the heightened threat, the Indian Army has deployed 500 Para Commandos to neutralize the presence of these well-trained terrorists. The Army has also enhanced its intelligence-gathering capabilities to disrupt local support networks aiding these militant activities.
Moreover, the Army has bolstered its fleet with over 200 armored protected vehicles acquired through emergency procurement procedures. These specialist vehicles are essential for securing the area and conducting operational movements effectively.
As security measures intensify in the region, troops are strategically maneuvering in these armored vehicles, prepared to respond swiftly to any potential terrorist threats.
