Home Minister Asks Forces to "Step up Vigil on Border" After Punjab Terror Attack

New Delhi:  Home Minister Rajnath Singh said he had asked security forces to tighten security on the border with Pakistan after the terror attack on a police station in Punjab on Monday morning.

In a tweet, Ms Singh said he had spoken to the head of Border Security Force and “instructed him to step up the vigil on India-Pakistan border”.


At least three terrorists allegedly crossed over into Hiranagar in Jammu a little before 5 am and then drove to Gurdaspur in Punjab.


The terrorists, wearing army uniforms, attacked a bus station and stormed a police station in Dinanagar, killing three persons, wounding at least six and taking an unknown number of hostages.


Five bombs were also found on a railway track in the state where India fought Sikh insurgency in the 1980s.
