India recently witnessed one of the deadly terror attacks on its military base in Pathankot on January 2 this year.
But according to Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC) on Home Affairs, terrorists are hiding in villages close to the “vulnerable” Pathankot airbase, which can come under fresh attack from them.
The government has been informed about it and security of the strategically important facility beefed up.
The committee was in Jammu to review the security arrangements along the international border and had earlier gone to Pathankot.
This came after a five-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) from Pakistan had visited India between March 27 and 31 to collect evidence with regard to the attack.
After the recommendation of the committee, the government has alerted the CRPF, BSF and the army and handed over the security of the airbase to them.
After this major development in the Pathankot case, the Interpol on Tuesday issued a fresh Red Corner notice against Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar and his brother Abdul Rauf for their alleged involvement in the attack on the Indian Air Force Base.
