Intelligence agencies have flagged credible security concerns regarding military bases in Amritsar, triggering a heightened state of alert across Punjab's defence establishments. Security officials have instructed all relevant agencies to treat the intelligence input with the highest level of seriousness and immediately strengthen protective measures around sensitive installations.
The development comes as part of ongoing efforts by security forces to counter potential threats to critical military infrastructure in the border state. Authorities have reportedly identified specific vulnerabilities at defence facilities and are taking steps to address them through enhanced surveillance, increased personnel deployment, and improved access controls.
Punjab has long remained a focus area for security agencies given its proximity to the Pakistan border and the presence of major military installations. The latest intelligence input has prompted coordination between multiple security agencies including military intelligence, civilian intelligence services, and state law enforcement to ensure comprehensive protection of these facilities.
Officials have indicated that the enhanced security measures will remain in place for an extended period. The move reflects the government's commitment to safeguarding critical military assets and maintaining operational readiness at defence installations across the state.
