In a tragic incident, three people lost their lives after a pick-up truck skidded from the road in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday.
The police, after getting information about the incident, reached the spot and recovered the bodies of the deceased. Kashmir Singh Thakur, Reasi State Disaster Response Force, said, "Three dead bodies have been recovered and they have been shifted to the hospital. One child was injured and he had also been shifted." Meanwhile, in light of the recent terrorist attacks within a month in the Jammu region, which have raised significant security concerns, Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF) Nitin Agrawal reviewed the operational readiness of the troops stationed at the Jammu International Border on Sunday. The BSF chief, who is on two-day visit to the border guarding force's Jammu frontier from July 20 to assess the security situation along the Jammu International Border, also engaged in detailed discussions with unit commandants, focusing on various operational aspects and the preparedness of the forces, said the force in a statement. This review is part of an ongoing effort to ensure the security and efficiency of the BSF in maintaining border integrity and responding to any potential threats. The DG's visit underscores the importance of vigilant border management in the region, especially given the strategic significance of the Jammu sector. BSF chief's visit was scheduled a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed the functioning of the Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) of the Intelligence Bureau, directing agencies to increase engagement in the MAC and make a cohesive platform as well as to adopt a whole-of-the government approach towards national security. Shah chaired the high-level meeting on Saturday evening in the national capital with heads of various security and law enforcement agencies including the BSF. (ANI)
