HIGH ALERT: Terror attack from Pakistan via sea possible - Indian Navy

Days after the abrogation of Article 370, the Indian Navy reveals the chances of Pakistan to attack India through 7,514 km coastline. Indian Navy has reportedly called for all its bases and warships on high alert in anticipation of a possible terror attack by Pakistan-backed terrorists.
"We are on a state of heightened alert on the eastern and western seaboards," an unnamed official said. The surveillance through radars along the coast and assets have been positioned at critical points to keep a watch, the officer said. India already has a functional chain of coastal radars and Joint Operations Center linked to Gurugram-based Information Management and Analysis Center.
On the abrogation of Article 370, the Pakistan Army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa pledged that their army was "prepared and shall go to any extent to fulfill its obligations" to people of Kashmir. This harsh reaction is also a concern for the Indian officials.

On the other hand, the Indian intelligence has reported the movement of a terrorist-like brother of terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed Masood Azhar, Rauf Azhgar to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in recent days. The Intelligence reported a large number of Jaish recruits shifting from its camps in Punjab towards the border.
Even the agencies have also warned about a possible terror attack in the hinterland outside of Jammu and Kashmir.
