The Keran sector, a sensitive zone with repeated infiltration attempts, has been under tight vigil as such bids usually rise before winters.
A full-scale anti sabotage exercise was carried out at the Jammu airport after an airline received a bomb threat email. However, nothing suspicious was found during an extensive search operation by the CISF and J&K Police.
Meanwhile, a massive search operation was launched by the BSF in the border areas of the Samba district following reports of a suspected Pakistani drone flying along the international border. Further details are awaited.
