TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Indian Air Force has placed its airbases on orange alert based on intelligence inputs about a possible suicidal terror attack on them in and around Jammu and Kashmir. According to top sources in the government, intelligence agencies have issued warning against a module of eight to 10 Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists who will possibly try to carry out a suicidal attack against air bases in and around Jammu and Kashmir.
An orange alert has been sounded for Srinagar, Avantipur, Jammu, Pathankot, Hindan airbases after the monitoring of the terrorists’ movements by the intelligence agencies. The orange alert is the second-highest level of alert after the Red alert which, if issued, would entail closing of schools and restriction on movements in airbases.
Last month, the government sources said that Pakistan deployed its Special Service Group commandos along the Sir Creek area in Gujarat. Security forces have eliminated several terrorists and foiled several infiltration bids over the past two months. Senior officers are reviewing security arrangements round the clock to tackle the threat, sources said.
