'Terrorists returning to their camps': BSF warns of possible infiltration attempts along LoC, International Border
NEW DELHI: The
Border Security Force
(BSF) on Tuesday claimed to have received multiple inputs about terrorists returning to their launchpads and camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following Operation Sindoor.
In a press conference, BSF Inspector General Shashank Anand said that intelligence inputs suggest possible infiltration attempts from both the Line of Control (LoC) and the international border in Jammu and Kashmir, for which security agencies must remain vigilant.
"The Line of Control in our Kashmir and Jammu regions, and the international border in the Jammu area, consistently provide us with various types of intelligence inputs, as we have observed recently," Anand said.
"Currently, we have not received any specific input about when terrorists might attempt infiltration, but we are continuously receiving information that terrorist organisations are making efforts. They are returning to their camps, undergoing training, and will try to infiltrate wherever they perceive a lack of vigilance. Whether it's the LoC or the IB, our security forces need to remain alert in all areas," he added.

The precision strikes carried out by the armed forces resulted in the killing of over 100 terrorists in PoK and Pakistan. Following the strikes, the armed forces also thwarted Pakistan's attempts at drone attacks.
Security forces also killed four
Lashkar-e-Taiba
terrorists under Operation Keller on May 13. Additionally, a huge cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the terrorists.
Meanwhile, the BSF also proposed to name a post in the Samba sector as "Sindoor", and two others after the personnel killed during cross-border shelling by Pakistan on May 10.
"On the morning of May 10, Pakistan sent low-flying drones to target our posts. The BSF was actively engaging these drones. However, during one such incident, a tragic event occurred. While BSF Sub-Inspector Mohammad Imtiyaz, Constable Deepak Kumar, and Indian Army Naik Sunil Kumar were trying to counter a drone, it dropped a payload, resulting in the deaths of all three. We propose to name two of our posts after the personnel we lost, and one post as 'Sindoor' in the Samba sector," Anand said.
'When Operation Sindoor was launched by Indian forces on May 7, it was expected that Pakistan would retaliate by firing on our posts. The BSF was fully alert on the International Border in Jammu. When unprovoked firing was carried out on us, the BSF gave a strong and fitting response, the evidence of which has been captured through our surveillance equipment. We also targeted and destroyed three terror launchpads located in Pakistan, sending a strong message that India will not tolerate any form of terrorist infiltration,' he added.

"RCB Should Be Sued": India World Cup Winner Slams Bengaluru Stampede Mess, Namedrops Virat Kohli
Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has strongly criticized the poor planning and crowd management during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL victory celebrations at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a stampede claimed the lives of at least 11 fans and injured several others. After RCB's long-awaited first IPL title win on June 3 in Ahmedabad, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) had organised a felicitation ceremony in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Thousands of fans gathered outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes. However, as the crowd swelled, the situation became unmanageable. Police resorted to a lathi-charge to control the crowd, leading to panic and chaos. Seven people were killed in the resulting stampede, while several others were rushed to Bowring Hospital and Vydehi Superspeciality Hospital for treatment. "People will not forget this —or Virat Kohli. While people were dying outside, there was a celebration inside. It's truly shocking and disheartening. The families of the dead should consider suing RCB and the state government for ₹100 crore for this tragic is also shirking responsibility," former Indian cricketer Madan Lal told IANS. Earlier in the day, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed the media after the incident and announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the family of the dead. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar defended the arrangements, stating, 'We had arranged for 5,000 police personnel. We couldn't use force on such a young, vibrant crowd.' The authorities have confirmed that the bodies of two persons are at Bowring Hospital and that of four others at Vaidehi Hospital. Six people are being treated in the ICU of the Vaidehi Hospital and three are admitted to the ICU. The government of Karnataka had earlier cancelled the victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, citing security reasons.

'It's shameful Bengaluru couldn't manage 1km victory parade': RCB gave city pride but poor planning brought it shame
BENGALURU: A perfect storm of giddy, overenthusiastic fans, poor planning by officials, bad stadium management, stretched police force, shortage of time, clueless event management and lack of communication between stakeholders resulted in the tragic and totally avoidable, deaths of 11 RCB fans and left 75 injured. At the crack of dawn, RCB lit up social media with the big news: The champions were flying home with the coveted IPL trophy and would celebrate with a grand victory parade in Bengaluru. It was an announcement that caught the cops unawares as they had no communication about it. But it sent the already-electrified fanbase into overdrive. Then came the colossal collective failure: Cops failed to act swiftly and draw up crowd-control plans. Politicians turned the celebration into a photo-op frenzy, brushing aside warnings in their race to bask in reflected glory. Many brought their families to Vidhana Soudha to pose with the cricketers. "RCB gave the city a reason to celebrate. But police and netas turned that joy into grief with their sheer incompetence. It's shameful that Bengaluru couldn't manage a 1km victory parade," said the grieving brother of one of the victims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Even senior bureaucrats admitted that the lives could have been saved with proper planning and coordination. "The RCB management did not consult us before announcing a victory parade. We would not have allowed it given the crazy celebrations that unfolded on the streets on Tuesday night. But the political bosses were in no mood to listen, they wanted us to go ahead with bandobust," a senior police officer said. Those who fell were trampled Till mid-afternoon, there was no clarity whether there was a parade and where the events would be held. Senior cops were informed only around 2pm to be at the stadium and the assembly. By which time, the crowds had already gathered. At the cricket stadium, the scenes from early afternoon held bad portents. Fans had started flocking to the gates by noon and it was apparent to any bystander that things would get of control soon. TOI reporters, who could not even get in, found that most gates stayed shut and false rumours of gate numbers led to a huge rush. Naturally, barricades collapsed, metal grills broke down and those who fell — mostly young people and women — were unable to get up and got crushed and trampled.

Bengaluru stampede: Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy blames DK Shivakumar for tragic incident
Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday blamed Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar for the stampede near the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The tragic incident claimed the lives of 11 people and injured 30 others. Kumaraswamy alleged that the incident was caused by the Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister's "impatience, immaturity, and irresponsibility." In a late night press conference at his official residence in New Delhi , the union minister demanded that "the person responsible for this tragedy must be immediately sacked from the cabinet." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo He further criticised the Congress government in Karnataka as being run by "arrogant fools" and said, "We have a Chief Minister who is completely inactive. He has no control over the Deputy CM. As for the State Home Minister, there's no point in discussing it. He merely obeys commands." About the government's felicitation event outside Vidhana Soudha, Kumaraswamy said, "While four people lay dead in a stampede near the Chinnaswamy Stadium, DK Shivakumar continued with the felicitation ceremony as if nothing had happened. How else do you describe such a government other than calling it an arrogant one?" Live Events He also criticised the ceremony for being organised hastily. "On Tuesday night, the team won the IPL trophy. What was the rush to organise a felicitation event immediately? Who invited the team? Why this urgency? Everyone knows the role the Deputy CM played in all this," he stated. "Who rushed to the airport on Wednesday morning to receive the team? Who turned it into an event? It was just the Deputy CM and his entourage. Was this the DK Shivakumar RCB team?" Kumaraswamy questioned sarcastically. "Why hold two separate events? One program, well-organised with proper preparation, would have been enough. There should have been appropriate security and caution. Instead, everything was rushed simply to glorify himself. As a result of this recklessness, sports fans lost their lives," he said. Kumaraswamy criticised the deputy chief minister's conduct at the stadium and said, "After his show at Vidhana Soudha, the Deputy CM reached the stadium. Right outside the stadium lay the bodies of the deceased. Rather than stopping the event, he walked onto the ground, lifted the trophy, and kissed it. Did he play the match and win the cup himself? Perhaps even the players didn't get the opportunity to touch the trophy. In the midst of deaths, he used RCB's win for his own PR and self-glorification." "This kind of recklessness cannot be tolerated. If the Chief Minister truly has any strength, courage, or leadership, he should start by removing such a person from his cabinet," the Union Minister demanded. Meanwhile, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar complimented the state police force for controlling the massive influx of people during the RCB celebrations. "Again, I'm telling on record. I should compliment my Police also, they wanted to have a procession, they wanted to bring a vehicle from the airport guided us not why I rushed to the airport and ensured nothing went Vidhana Soudha, also we were very cautious...," DK Shivakumar said. "We never expected such an incident to happen. No political party or official wanted this. They did their best, but there was an uncontrollable crowd," he added. Shivakumar also announced postponing all programs except the cabinet meeting on June 5. After the incident, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed a press conference and said 11 people died and 33 were injured in the Siddaramaiah said that the government will also provide free treatment to the injured. "A major tragedy occurred during the victory celebrations. It happened near the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The government has announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the deceased. The government will provide free treatment to the injured."
