As Pakistan is having difficulty sending infiltrators and weapons from the border fence or open stretches due to the BSF alert status, it is moving towards other methods such as tunnels and drones, ”said a senior BSF official.
Another official said that Pakistan has increased its activity along the border in Jammu as it cannot create any impact in Kashmir where there is a strong presence of the army and the central armed forces of the police.
