New Delhi : Pathankot terror strike could have been prevented if lessons had been learnt from previous such attacks with focus on securing the country’s border with Pakistan which is not yet “well guarded”, Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra said here on Tuesday. Speaking about the infiltrations by terror groups through International Border (IB), including the recent attack on Pathankot air base, Vohra said BSF with its limited capacities cannot guard the IB (in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab) which is a long stretch of over 200 to 250 kilometers.
The Governor who was here to deliver a key note address on seventh National Investigation Agency (NIA) day, noted that the five-six terror attacks which took place from September 2013 onwards via Kathua through the IB, part of which falls in Jammu and Kashmir, should have been followed up as closely as the Pathankot attack.
