New Delhi, Dec. 23 -- The Border Security Force (BSF) in Jammu has flagged the re-emergence of at least nine Jaish-e-Mohammed terror launch pads across the international border in Pakistan that were shut down following Operation Sindoor, officials aware of the matter said. Some of the pads, where militants congregate before covertly crossing the border, are in Chobara, Daluwali, Mastpur, Bajra Garhi, Sarjwal and Jhang Bajwat. People aware of the matter said officials have spotted movement in recent weeks at these launch pads that were vacated during Operation Sindoor, following which a heightened alert is in place across the border villages to stop any infiltration. Some of the pads, officials confirmed, have been set up within 5 km of their original locations. To be sure, these launch pads are not the same terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir that were destroyed in air strikes in during Operation Sindoor . Operation Sindoor marked New Delhi's direct military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. Over the last two weeks, the BSF's Jammu frontier personnel, along with the Jammu and Kashmir(J&K) police, undertook a surprise check in at least two dozen villages. Last weekend (December 14-15), top BSF officials also conducted a security review of the border villages and the measures in place to check infiltration. "The headquarters in Delhi has been alerted about the re-emergence of these terror pads. In the last two months, our officials spotted a trend of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists setting up these camps again. There was no movement at these camps for almost 4-5 months after Op Sindoor. They are using these camps to infiltrate into our country but they are unsuccessful given the area domination exercises on our side," an officer aware of the matter said. The officer cited the example of the Mastpur launch pad in Pakistan, which was destroyed by artillery by the forces during Operation Sindoor. "The pad was destroyed on May 7. There is again movement of Jaish-e-Mohammed cadres at a different spot, but not far from the camp that was destroyed. It could be within 5 km of the earlier spot. They have moved back away from the firing range of our forces. At these pads, the terrorists look for a chance to infiltrate. Places like Ramgarh under the Samba district remain our key focus. This is why senior officers are checking the counter-infiltration measures."...
