Following the air strikes on terrorist bases in Pakistan, the BSF, the first line of defence in Barmer, has been put on high alert. Local authorities are vigilant regarding internal security and have appealed to the public to remain calm. The Indian Air Force destroyed a Jaish-e-Mohammed hideout in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, 100 kilometres from Khajuwala and Anupgarh, by launching missiles. This has led to an alert due to the possibility of retaliatory action.
Following news of the air strikes, celebrations broke out early in the morning. Hundreds of young people burst firecrackers in the main square of the city. Slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai… Pakistan Murdabad” were raised. It should be noted that the Indian Air Force conducted air strikes on nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and PoK under ‘Operation Sindur’. This has been confirmed by the Pakistani army itself.
