A pigeon carrying a chit threatening to blow up Jammu railway station has been captured near the International Border, prompting heightened security across the region.
The bird was intercepted by security forces stationed along the IB, and the handwritten note attached to it contained a chilling warning aimed at creating panic.
Authorities immediately launched an investigation into the origin of the note and potential cross-border links. Intelligence agencies suspect this could be another tactic by anti-national elements to instill fear and disrupt public safety.
Following the incident, security across Jammu has been put on high alert. Railway stations, bus terminals, and key public places have been placed under intensified monitoring, with additional checkpoints and patrolling deployed. Dog squads, surveillance cameras, and bomb disposal units have also been pressed into service to prevent any untoward situation.
Officials have urged the public to remain calm but vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately. The unusual nature of the threat — involving a pigeon — highlights the innovative methods sometimes employed by hostile elements to bypass conventional security measures.
The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities determined to trace the source of the message and ensure the safety of commuters and residents in the region.
