Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) has stated that the low-intensity blast that occurred in Amritsar is part of a broader conspiracy involving Pakistan and the Islamic State (ISIS) to mark the anniversary of Operation Sindoor. The explosion, which took place in a crowded area, caused minimal damage but raised significant security concerns.
Details of the Incident
The blast occurred on the eve of the anniversary of Operation Sindoor, a military operation conducted by Indian security forces. According to the DGP, intelligence inputs suggested that Pakistan-based elements, in coordination with ISIS, were planning to carry out such attacks to create unrest. The low-intensity nature of the explosion indicates that it was intended to cause panic rather than mass casualties.
Security Measures
In response, Punjab Police have heightened security across the state, particularly in sensitive areas. Additional forces have been deployed, and surveillance has been intensified. The DGP assured the public that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure safety and to thwart any further attempts.
Investigation Underway
A thorough investigation has been launched to identify the perpetrators and their networks. Preliminary findings suggest links to foreign handlers. The DGP emphasized the need for vigilance and cooperation from the public in reporting suspicious activities.
The blast serves as a reminder of the persistent threat from cross-border terrorism and the importance of maintaining security preparedness. Authorities are working closely with central agencies to track down those responsible.
