Jammu, January 22

With the Republic Day ahead, the Jammu police are keeping an eye on infiltration routes and highway that could be used by ultras to disrupt the celebrations.

Mukesh Singh, ADGP, Jammu zone, held a meeting with officers of the police, the CID and intelligence agencies to discuss the security arrangements for the Republic Day celebrations.

He stressed upon officers to lay joint ‘nakas’ (checkpoints) on all the roads and other infiltration routes in border areas. He also asked the officials to intensify night patrolling on the highway.

“Any input related to infiltration must be disseminated with all concerned on real time basis. All border police stations should be strengthened and proper briefing be given to them regarding nature of duties to be performed by them,” the ADGP said during the meeting.

Mukesh Singh reviewed the security arrangement that has already been made in and around MA Stadium where the Republic Day celebrations will take place. A presentation was also given regarding the planned deployment of security men.
