FEROZEPUR: Indian Army has begun massive mobilization of military tanks and deployment of troops along the International Border (IB) in Rajasthan and Punjab. The movement of armoury to forward post locations was witnessed over the last couple of days.

Sources reported deployment of armoured formations from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh to border outposts. A major reinforcement of the Army was noticed in Punjab's Abohar and Rajasthan's Bikaner and Barmer areas.

The development comes amid reports of Pakistan vacating civilians from its border villages and reportedly moving large scale troops to the Indian front. Sources also claimed that the Pakistan army moved troops near “sensitive areas” along the IB. Meanwhile, Indian forces remain alert and a large deployment of armoured tanks and infantry continues in the border locations as precautionary measures.
