‘Bid by militants to enter State by sea’
Central Intelligence agencies have alerted authorities in Gujarat about a possible infiltration attempt by terrorists via the sea.
Acting on this information, the State government has put Kutch district, which shares land and sea borders with Pakistan, on alert and has beefed up security.
“The Central Intelligence agencies shared an input that at least two boats, one of which having a Pakistani national on board, may arrive on Jakhau port, a leading fishing harbour, on the western shore of the district,” said A.K. Jadeja, border range IG of Gujarat. According to him, the agencies warned that one boat is heading towards the international maritime boundary line near Jakhau. The boat reportedly began its journey from a port in Andhra Pradesh.
“Upon nearing Jakhau, one Pakistan national, who came there on another boat from Pakistan, came on board and then they headed towards Jakhau,” Mr. Jadeja added.
The BSF has an extensive presence along the border.
“Coastal police station are on alert and all vehicles coming from ports are being checked,” a police official said.
