| Presence of 80m tunnel along IB with Pak cause of concern | | National security | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 1: Just a day after the seven brave hearts of the Indian army, including two young Majors, laid down their lives while rescuing hostages inside army's artillery unit in well fortified Jammu's Nagrota based 16 corps headquarters, BSF jawans early Wednesday morning found a 80-metre long tunnel in Ramgarh sector of Samba district, 40 kms from Jammu. Immediately after the revelation was made by the Director General of BSF KK Sharma, the entire security establishment in Jammu went into huddle. And senior BSF officers of Jammu frontier, Director General of state police and senior intelligence officers of central agencies also visited the spot to assess the ground situation.
The presence of 80-meter long tunnel inside the Indian territory has clearly created a flutter in the security grid. What caused fact that the said tunnel was dug using Chinese technology. This is the second incident since March 2016, when a tunnel was detected by the BSF jawans along the International border across Jammu frontier.
The fact that while anti-India elements from the Pakistani side of the border were busy in digging out a tunnel along the International border, the BSF jawans couldn't detect the unusual movement in the forward area. And this is a cause of grave concern.
To avoid any confusion, DG BSF clarified the Nagrota attack that took place yesterday at an army camp was "separate" and it was part of the investigation to find out if it had any connection with the Samba terror bid.
Speculations are rife that the "fidayeen group also travelled via Samba after infiltrating from across the International border with the help of local guide". According to sources, "Police is searching for any clue to track down the route adopted by the group as they were extended local help by an over ground worker of the sleeper cell in the region".
To set the record straight, KK Sharma addressed a press conference and said: "After the operation got over at the Chamliyal BoP (border outpost), we checked the fence and there was no breach. Then today morning, we detected a small tunnel of the size of 2×2 metres. We had deployed 'depth nakas' across the fence and hence we could detect and neutralise the three militants. The tunnel was found in a field where farming is done and has soft soil. The tunnel is about 75-80 metres from the IB and about 35-40 metres from the fence".
Notwithstanding what KK Sharma said, it has become imperative to ensure that Pakistan didn't succeed in digging any tunnel along the International border and the Line of Control considering the nature of the Pakistani state and its evil designs on the sensitive border state of Jammu & Kashmir. |
