Jammu, March 8

The Jammu and Kashmir Police and other security agencies seem to have learnt no lesson even after several terror attacks in and outside Jammu district. There is no random checking of vehicles on the highways connecting the district.The police have established checkposts on the Jammu-Pathankot, Jammu-Srinagar and the Jammu-Poonch national highways, but policemen do not check any vehicle.There is no enhanced security on the Jammu-Pathankot national highway, where terrorists have carried out several attacks leading to killings of soldiers and civilians. The highway is sensitive as it is close to the International Border. On several occasions, militants, after infiltrating from Pakistan, have launched attacks on security installations along the highway.Similarly, the Jammu-Srinagar national highway has been used by militants from time to time to move and launch attacks. Intelligence agencies were of the opinion that three militants involved in the February 10 Sunjuwan terror attack had reached Jammu via this highway.The Jammu-Poonch national highway also assumes importance as it is the only road link through which supplies are carried to the Army and other security forces guarding the Line of Control. Major Army installations along the Poonch highway have time and again been the target of militants.Jammu IGP SDS Jamwal refused to comment, saying that he is busy and will talk about the issue later.NH used by ultras to launch attacks earlier
