Following Friday’s attack on a Kashmir Valley-bound truck in Udhampur, the Indian Army on Sunday intensified patrolling along the Jammu-Srinagar highway to keep anti-social elements at bay.
“The army has intensified patrolling on the Jammu-Srinagar highway to prevent any untoward incident,” top sources in the army told IANS here.
“Immediately after the unfortunate event in which miscreants attacked a truck parked in Udhampur area, the army has intensified patrolling in areas on the highway to ensure hassle-free, smooth passage of vehicles from the two sides,” the sources said.
Miscreants lobbed a petrol bomb at a truck in Udhampur area of the Jammu-Srinagar highway on Friday. Two Kashmiris, identified as Zahid Rasool Bhat, 16, and Showkat Ahmad Dar, 35, sustained serious burn injuries in the attack.
