Samba (Jammu and Kashmir): Security has been tightened in Jammu's Samba area after a small opening, suspected to be a tunnel, was found near the international border on Wednesday. The Border Security Force (BSF) spokesperson said that a small opening was found in the general area near fencing in the Samba area, which is suspected to be a tunnel. The BSF is carrying out a detailed search in the area today. On April 22, two Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists were neutralised in an encounter in the Sunjwan area of Jammu.
It was established during an investigation that they were picked up by a mini truck from the Sopowal area of Samba and had infiltrated from somewhere there. The BSF had launched a massive anti-tunnelling operation in the area at the time, and yesterday, a tunnel was detected by the BSF jawans at the international border in the Samba sector. Two AK-47 rifles, arms and ammunition, satellite phones and some documents were recovered from them.
