A confabulate floated by a Pakistani number avers that the Pakistani intelligence agencies operating in the Kashmir valley are planning to mix poison in the ration stocks allotted to the security forces deployed in the region.
According to the media that has accessed the intel report, it said that imperative steps should be taken, especially in the state of Jammu and Kashmir to ensure the security of ration depots at all military camps.
In accordance with the intelligence report, it has also been recommended that "to rule out any untoward incident or attempt", all the ration allowance procured for the security forces across India shall be subject to frequent checks.
With the rising tensions in India and Pakistan, several cases of violence have been reported at the border areas, more than 40 ceasefire violations have been reported across the Line of Control (LoC).
