Security heightened across Jammu and Kashmir prisons amid possible terror attack: Reports

| @indiablooms | May 05, 2025, at 09:16 am

Security has been heightened amid reports that there is a possibility of a terror strike in prisons across Jammu and Kashmir.

Intelligence inputs suggest that high-security facilities such as Srinagar Central Jail and Kot Balwal Jail in Jammu could be potential targets, reported India Today.

Several high-profile terrorists and sleeper cell members are currently present in the jails.

Sources told India Today that the Director General of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) met with top officials of the security grid in Srinagar on Sunday to assess the situation.

The alert has been issued amid an ongoing investigation into the Pahalgam terror attack.

Indian Defence Minister Sends Strong Message To Attackers

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday sent a strong message to those involved in the Pahalgam attack and said it is his responsibility to work with the armed forces and give a befitting reply to those who dared attack the country.

"It is my responsibility as the defence minister to ensure the security of the country's borders along with my soldiers," Singh said while addressing the Sanskriti Jagran Mahotsav.

He further said: "It is also my responsibility to give a befitting reply to those who dare to attack the nation."

Singh commented amid a heightened tension between India and Pakistan over the Pahalgam terror attack that drew worldwide condemnation.

IAF Chief Meets Modi

Indian Air Chief Marshal AP Singh on Sunday met PM Narendra Modi in New Delhi amid escalating tension between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that drew worldwide condemnation.

Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, the Chief of Air Staff, on Sunday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his official residence in New Delhi, reported UNI news agency.

Indian Navy Chief, Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi, reportedly met Modi on Saturday.

Modi had also met Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi last week.

No official readout on the meetings was released to the media.

However, it is seen as part of the ongoing deliberations over the response to the April 22 attack when terrorists killed 26 people, mostly non-Muslim tourists, who were present in the picturesque Baisaran meadows.

It was one of the deadliest attacks that the Kashmir Valley witnessed since the 2019 Pulwama incident.
