Armed intruder apprehended by BSF on international border in Jammu

BSF troopers capture an armed intruder near the international border in Jammu's Pargwal area. The individual has been handed over to local police for legal action.

"The individual has been handed over to Police Post Pargwal (Police Station Khour) for further legal action. - Jammu Police"

Jammu, Dec 12

An intruder was apprehended alongwith a weapon by Border Security Force (BSF) troopers near the international border in J&K’s Jammu district on Friday

Police said that the intruder, identified as Abdul Khalik, was apprehended in the Pargwal area.

"The individual has been handed over to Police Post Pargwal (Police Station Khour) for further legal action," Jammu police said.

J&K has a 740-km-long line of control (LoC) and an international border which is 240-km-long.

The LoC is situated in Baramulla, Kupwara and Bandipora districts of the Kashmir Valley and in Poonch, Rajouri, and partly in Jammu district of Jammu division.

The international border is situated in Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts of Jammu division.

The army guards the LoC while the BSF guards the international border. Both are deployed to check infiltration, exfiltration, drug smuggling, and drone activity on the border in J&K.

J&K Police and the security forces are deployed in the hinterland to carry out anti-terrorist operations and operations against drug smugglers, drug peddlers and those involved in hawala money rackets and other unlawful financial activities.

It is believed that funds generated by these unlawful activities are used to sustain terrorism in J&K.

The revised strategy by the police and the security forces is aimed at dismantling the complete support system of terrorism rather than just focusing on the gun-wielding terrorists.

The security forces are carrying out aggressive operations against terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers.

Properties created through drug smuggling and by engaging in terrorist activities are being attached after obtaining court orders, and a constant 24X7 vigil is being maintained in both the border and the hinterland in J&K after the suspension of Operation Sindoor.

Good work by the forces. But the article mentions the focus is now on dismantling the support system - the OGWs and funding. This is the right strategy. You can't win by just catching the man with the gun, you have to dry up the resources that create more guns.

The detailed breakdown of LoC and IB is helpful for common people to understand. 740 km LoC + 240 km IB is a huge area to guard. Hats off to Army and BSF for managing this challenging terrain, especially in winter.

While I appreciate the security forces' work, I hope the legal process for the apprehended individual is fair and transparent. Every case needs due process, even on sensitive borders. A strong democracy is defined by its rule of law.

The link between drugs, hawala, and terrorism funding is the real menace. Glad the forces are attaching properties gained from this. Hit them where it hurts - their wallet. J&K's peace is paramount for the whole nation's security.

24x7 vigil after Operation Sindoor suspension... shows the situation is still very tense. My cousin is posted in Rajouri. We worry every day but are also so proud. Our forces need our unwavering support and better resources.
