The Jammu and Kashmir police carried out a security mock drill in Samba to test and improve border defence measures.
Jammu and Kashmir police recently conducted a security mock drill in the town of Samba, located near the international border, to assess and strengthen their operational readiness. The exercise involved simulated intrusion scenarios, rapid response teams, and coordination between border outposts and local law enforcement agencies.
Officials overseeing the drill emphasized that such rehearsals are essential for identifying gaps in surveillance, communication and tactical response along the sensitive frontier. Personnel from the police, the Border Security Force and local administrative units participated, practicing both defensive and counter‑intrusion measures.
Senior police officers highlighted that the drill aligns with broader efforts to fortify the state's border infrastructure amid heightened security concerns. They noted that regular training enhances the ability to protect civilians and maintain territorial integrity.
The mock drill concluded with a debriefing session where commanders reviewed performance metrics and outlined corrective actions. Authorities plan to replicate similar exercises at other vulnerable points along the border to ensure consistent preparedness.
