JAMMU — Jammu and Kashmir police on Wednesday issued an ‘alert advisory’ in the Jammu region, urging residents to stay vigilant regarding the movement of suspicious individuals and objects.
They have advised the residents of Jammu and Rajouri to thoroughly check their vehicles before turning them on, officials said.
A security advisory has been issued in the region in connection with a terror threat in areas of Rajouri, and Jammu districts, they said.
Police vehicles equipped with loudspeakers made announcements in Akhnoor and Jammu areas, urging the people to remain alert and report any suspicious activities or objects, they said.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jammu Dr Vinod Kumar led a security review of checkpoints and police establishments in the Akhnoor, issuing directives to police officers and officials to stay vigilant in their areas of operation, they said.
This heightened security measure follows intelligence inputs indicating a terror threat.
Police have provided contact numbers for officers in Jammu and Samba districts, encouraging residents to report any potential terror-related concerns, they said.
