AHMEDABAD: With tension mounting on India?s border with Pakistan, especially in Jammu & Kashmir, defence bases in Gujarat have been put on high alert. According to officials, troops have been maintaining a tight vigil, especially since Wednesday.

Sources in the defence sector told DNA that the army, navy and air force were keeping a close watch on movement along both land and water boundaries. ?Gujarat shares the longest land border with Pakistan as compared to other states of the country, so we have to be extra vigilant,? the sources added.Incidentally, chances of infiltration were higher in the state due to lack of fence in the border areas.

The three wings of the armed forces have geared up to tackle any situation that could arise in the western part of the country, they added.
