Jammu: Security was tightened at Jammu railway station after a pigeon carrying a threatening note was intercepted near the India-Pakistan border, officials said on Wednesday.
The bird was spotted by a Border Security Force (BSF) patrol in the Khatmarian area of RS Pura on August 18. A note tied to its leg, written in English and Urdu, read: “Kashmir Hamara Hai” (Kashmir is ours), “Waqt Aa Gaya Hai, Aa Jayega” (The time has come, it will come), and “Jammu Station IED Blast.”
The BSF immediately alerted the Jammu and Kashmir Police, following which security was intensified at the station and surrounding areas.
“We are probing all possibilities to ensure there is no threat. Extra vigilance has been deployed at the railway station and surrounding areas,” an official said.
