Security tightened in Jammu ahead of Operation Sindoor anniversary

Jammu, May 06: Security has been beefed up along the International Border and in Jammu region ahead of the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, with security forces conducting extensive search operations, officials said on Wednesday.

The Special Operations Group (SOG) carried out searches in various areas of Jammu, while police teams intensified frisking and checking of vehicles at multiple places, they said.

Search operations have also been conducted in several districts as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order, the officials added.

In the early hours of May 7 last year, India had launched Operation Sindoor — a precision air and missile strike targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 civilians dead.

Security along the border with Pakistan has been further strengthened, with heightened vigilance through both manual patrolling and surveillance equipment, the officials said.
