Chandigarh: On Monday in Punjab's highly sensitive Pathankot town, a grenade exploded near an Indian Army camp. The explosion reportedly caused no injuries. Police arrived on the scene and discovered grenade fragments. Surendra Lamba, Senior Superintendent of Police, told before media that an inquiry was underway and that CCTV footage from the scene had been collected. Motorcyclists are thought to have thrown the grenade in front of the army cantonment's Triveni entrance.
Security was beefed up in Punjab's border districts of Pathankot and Gurdaspur, particularly near the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot, which was the target of a terror assault on January 2, 2016, and the Army's Mamoon Cantonment. Following the blast, the Punjab Police, the Border Security Force (BSF), and officers from various security agencies have been placed on high alert.
Suspected Pakistani terrorists assaulted Dinanagar town in Gurdaspur district, some 225 kilometres away, on July 27, 2015, killing seven people, including a Punjab Police officer, three Home Guards, and three civilians. After an 11-hour gun battle with security personnel at the Dinanagar police station, the three terrorists were dead.
