Srinagar: As the cold wave intensifies its grip over Jammu and Kashmir, the soldiers along the international borders have not let the foggy weather and freezing temperatures let them lower their guard and are alert to foil any infiltration attempts.
During these long cold nights, Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers regularly patrol the international border in Jammu since this is the time when militants try and sneak in. But they disregard the freezing weather, fog, and darkness to do their duty.
"All the jawans are doing their duty with great alertness, sometimes the visibility is so poor that we are not able to see anything at all, but we have intensified patrolling and doing vehicle patrolling as well," said Suresh Pal Singh, a BSF soldier posted at the border.
"To counter the bitter cold and fog, we provide sufficient woolen clothes and hot tea to jawans to keep them warm," said Umesh Kumar Assistant Commander, BSF.
With increasing number of border firings and infiltration attempts, the soldiers cannot afford to lower their guard for a moment, be it against the enemy or the forces of nature.
