According to a spokesperson from the Border Security Force (BSF), a man suspected to be of Pakistani origin was killed while attempting to cross into India from the Punjab border. This incident occurred on Monday around 8:30pm in the Dal village of Tarn Taran district. The BSF, who has been on high alert in preparation for Independence Day, noticed the man trying to cross the international boundary in a secretive manner and approaching the border fence.
The BSF personnel in charge immediately warned the intruder to stop, but he continued to move towards the border fence. In response to this, the troops on duty took action and fired at the intruder, resulting in his death on the spot. The spokesperson added that this action was taken due to the high alert situation on the border and the potential danger posed by the approaching intruder.
The spokesperson further stated that the BSF's quick and efficient response has once again prevented a potential infiltration attempt by a cross-border terror group. This is a testament to the vigilance and dedication of the BSF troops who are constantly on guard to protect the Indian territory from any external threats. The BSF, responsible for guarding the 553-kilometre-long India-Pakistan border in Punjab, had already declared a high alert from August 10 in light of the upcoming Independence Day celebrations on August 15.
This incident serves as a reminder of the constant threat posed by cross-border terrorism and the importance of the BSF's role in safeguarding the nation's borders. The BSF spokesperson also emphasized the need for continued vigilance and alertness to prevent any such infiltration attempts in the future. The incident has been reported by the Press Trust of India (PTI).
