Apprehending that some militants might have sneaked into the Indian side during the cross-border firing in Nikowal Pargwal area on Thursday night, Jammu and Kashmir police has sounded a high alert in the district.
All entry and exit points have been sealed, vehicles are being checked and people frisked. Security in the city and adjoining routes has been intensified to check for any suspected person, police said.
A major check point has been set up on Jammu-Akhnoor road to check all passengers coming via buses, trucks and other two and three wheelers, they said.
Additional security has been also deployed at Jammu bus stand, Railway station and other vital points.
The security has also been tightened in view of the Navratras, the nine days festivity of Goddess Durga, starting on Friday.
Over 40,000 pilgrims pay visit at the holy cave shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi during Navratras and state's tourism department is organising a nine-day festival at Katra, the starting point for the yatra, from Friday
