He said that a strict blockade was being implemented in sensitive areas, and strict vigilance was being maintained in coordination with the Border Security Force (BSF) in border villages. The SP said that instructions were given to exercise special caution and work in coordination with the security agencies deployed on the border. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, the Army and Air Force airports and military complexes on the western border have been put on high alert. Official sources said that the BSF has also been put on high alert on the Pakistan international border adjoining Rajasthan, and instructions have been given to annihilate any nefarious activity seen from across the border. Patrolling has been intensified on the border, and all activities across the border are being closely monitored.
