Border Security Force (BSF) has detected a tunnel beneath the India-Pakistan international border fence in Jammu, officials said.
The tunnel, about 50 metres from the border fence on the Indian side, was located by a BSF patrol on Thursday in the Samba sector of Jammu. The force later examined the tunnel and found plastic sandbags on its mouth that had “Pakistani markings” on them, officials told.
The force has launched a major search operation in the area to look for other such hidden structures that aid infiltration even as it is analysing the spotted structure, they said. BSF Director General Rakesh Asthana has directed his frontier commanders to ensure that the anti-infiltration grid is intact and there are no gaps along this front, they added.
