In the aftermath of the terror attack at the Pathankot air base, security has been beefed up around cantonment areas and other defence establishments in the city.Armed jawans could be seen patrolling around periphery areas while vehicles with heavily armed persons mounted on it found guarding the entrance gates of the cantonment area.Security agencies have been on a high alert in border districts in the wake of the terrorist attack in which six armed ultras of the Pakistan-based terror organisation ‘Jaish-e-Mohammad’ were gunned down Indian soldiers.With rumours of more terrorists on the prowl, security agencies have not been taking any risk. The recent upgrade of the security cover around the Army cantonment and other sensitive defence installations is being seen as a step in this regard.Security at the Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee international Airport has also been enhanced with the deployment of a huge number of jawans of the CISF, the Punjab Police and other security agencies.
