April 06, 2015 10:07

Following a slew of terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Army and the local police have launched a joint mock drill to fight similar situations in the future.

Assistant superintendent of police of Poonch district, Amit Kumar Gupta, said the drill was fruitful and similar sessions would be conducted in the coming days too.

"Everyone knows that from the past few days attacks and infiltration increased in the region and we got a lot of inputs that terrorists will intrude in the valley and will attack on our vital installations," Gupta said.

"On this basis, the district police of Poonch chalked out a plan and arranged a mock drill coordinating with the army in the Poonch. It created general alertness in the area and sense of security among people that army and police are active," he added.

Gupta further noted that Poonch was a sensitive region as 120 km of the Line of Control passes through the area.
