After the Uri army base attack on Sunday that has escalated tension between India and Pakistan, security forces — Border Security Force (BSF) and the army — say they are fully alert all along the 198-km long international border (IB) and 744-km long Line of Control (LoC), to thwart any ‘mischief’ by Islamabad. The BSF, which has the operational responsibility of the IB, has deployed more men on the sensitive border. However, an Intelligence source said there has been marginal increase of soldiers of Pakistan Army in the posts of Rangers. “One to two soldiers from Pakistan Army are being observed in their posts,” he added. Even as Pakistan Army has been covertly ‘active’ on their side of the IB, Indian Army has upped security on the LoC.
