January 21, 2017 10:18 pm | Updated 10:18 pm IST - Srinagar:

The Jammu Police on Friday evening alerted schools not to allow strangers inside their premises in the wake of the upcoming Republic Day function in the winter capital, besides beefing up border security to stop any infiltration.

“From the security point of view, it is requested that the schools’ management in district Jammu should not allow any stranger in the school and give necessary precautions to students,” said a Jammu-based police spokesman.

Jammu has witnessed a number of sensational militant attacks in the recent past.

The police is beefing up security near the border areas, too. “Barricades and checks will be intensified within the city and at the borders. Border police posts are directed to keep a vigil on infiltration routes,” said the spokesman.
