Delhi Blast: Police Announce Rs 5 Lakh Reward for Intel

SRINAGAR: Security was tightened at the Jammu railway station on Monday after the recent busting of a terror module, even as police in Poonch announced a reward of Rs 5 lakh for actionable information about the presence or movement of militants in the border district.

Official sources said that police and paramilitary personnel conducted surprise checks at the railway station, frisking passengers and inspecting the luggage of all incoming and outgoing travellers. The heightened security comes days after eight individuals, including doctors, were arrested for allegedly planning major terror strikes across the country.

Meanwhile, in an effort to enhance public participation in counter-terror operations, Poonch Police announced a reward of Rs 5 lakh for any “credible, specific, and actionable” tip-off regarding terrorists or their associates.

Police assured that the identity of informers would be fully protected. People have been urged to immediately report any suspicious activity, particularly related to those offering shelter, food, logistics, transport, safe houses, or communication support to terrorists.

Authorities also appealed to the public to alert police about anyone passing sensitive information, financing terror activities, or aiding recruitment and networking. (KNC)
