Bandipora, May 7 -- Security has been tightened along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Gurez sector of north Kashmir's Bandipora district today with security forces stepping up surveillance and deployment in the sensitive border area, as the nation marks the first anniversary of "Operation Sindoor," the Indian military operation launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives in 2025.

Officials said the Army has intensified monitoring in the sector using advanced surveillance equipment, including night-vision devices and high-end optical systems. Patrolling has also been increased during both day and night to track movement and prevent any infiltration attempts along the LoC.
