Arms and ammunition smuggling

Another vigilant team of JKP has averted a major arms smuggling from Jammu to Srinagar. More serious is the modus operandi of these arms smugglings. Arms dropping by drone at international border is the latest happening, an ominous sign as no human is involved and these repeated arms dropping through drones means definitely there are certain porous places along IB which have to plugged at any cost. Information from the arrested terrorists will be of much help in tracing out such places. Special cabins/cavities for carrying large quantities of arms is again a very serious turn of events. Workshop owner where seat modification was done can provide information of any other such vehicle modification. Every time we cannot be lucky enough to catch such smuggled arms and ammunitions and once again the need of full truck scanners at Lakhanpur and other highway toll plazas to check this arms smuggling. It’s a long overdue requisite risking life of police and public too frequently as happened at Ban Toll plaza in the past. One over ground worker among the arrested terrorists is another issue to be taken on top priority. The said operative had been caught with grenade earlier and is on medical bail meaning loopholes are there in our prosecution process. How come a militant on medical bail can travel from Kashmir to Jammu and back, no mandatory police station presence or any other relevant procedure in place to check his activities once on bail. Use of sniffer dogs is best in detecting explosive and as such mobile sniffer dogs should be immediately deployed all along the highway to check randomly. It will be a big deterrent for terrorists and their handlers to smuggle arms and ammunition by road.
Efforts of our Jammu and Kashmir police is really appreciable as time and again they are able to burst terrorist modules, deterring many more of future. It’s important to keep up consistent vigil to defeat the nefarious designs of cross border enemy, end of terrorism is imminent sooner than expected.
