Punjab Police have sounded a high alert in the border areas following which four customised Armoured Personal Carriers (APCs) were requisitioned from PAP, Jalandhar, even as 300 police personal were deployed at the border police stations of Behrampur, Kalanaur, Dorangla and Dinanagar.

Senior officials said the cops had gone into an overdrive after footprints of four suspected infiltrators were seen near the international border at Bamial.

A top officer said there was possibility that Sikh hardliners operating in Pakistan might try to cause trouble ahead of the June 6 anniversary of Operation Bluestar.
