After the air strikes that Indian Air Force conducted on JeM terror training camps in Balakot on 26th of February, the Maharashtra government has called for office bearers of the School and Co. Bus Owner’s Association to ensure the safety of school children. This is keeping in mind the present situation in the country.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told the state legislature that security has been tightened across the city and appealed to people not to panic.
Vigilance and CCTV surveillance has been increased in public places like the airport, railway stations and other key locations. This came in the wake of intelligence reports that have asked Mumbai to be on high alert.
This comes hours after India carried out airstrikes at a Jaish-e-Mohammed camp in Balakot in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, eliminating an approx 300 terrorists, including top commanders, according to Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale.
The terror camp, located in a thick forest area atop a hill, was led by Ustad Gauri, brother-in-law of JeM chief Masood Azhar, Gokhale said, making a statement before the media, hours after the airstrikes using Mirage 2000 were carried out.
In retaliation, Pakistan violated ceasefire in a number of places along the LoC. Heavy shelling and violation of Indian air space by Pakistani aircraft have also been reported.
