Following the early morning ‘non-military pre-emptive’ activity across the Line-of-Control on Pakistani side, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday stated that the State of Gujarat has been put on high-alert with leaves and holidays of security personnel cancelled.
“Gujarat is a border State and we are on high alert. We have put all the police personnel on alert and their holidays have been cancelled,” said Rupani, addressing a public rally at Kalawad in Jamnagar district. All the officials have been asked to report to their headquarters.
Earlier the same day, there were reports of a Pakistani unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) being shot down by the security forces near the international border in Kutch district.
The ‘High Alert’ call is seen as a pre-emptive measure to prevent any infiltration bid through the borders of Kutch, Banaskantha and Patan districts.
