( Infiltrators will be shot: Wall of Pathankot Air Force Station bearing a warning message )

Following the shoot on sight orders issued by security agencies on most of the strategic air bases of the country, now posters carrying warning messages have been pasted on most of the walls of Pathankot Air Base.

The posters read both in Hindi and Punjabi that anybody trying to intrude into the air base would be shot at without any warning.

Under normal circumstances in the past, a warning used to be issued before shooting an intruder while the clear instructions passed now contains only shooting orders.

The posters have also been pasted on the rear side of the walls from where the Pakistani militants had sneaked into the air base, who later were killed in the 82 hours long encounter in January this year.

The wall surrounds air base and has a large number of villages sharing their boundaries with the Air Force Station spread in nearly 23 acres of land.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that on some specific input, the security forces, which include Punjab Police, Border Security Force (BSF) and Army have increased their vigil on the border villages; while a flag march in nearly twenty border villages in Narot Jaimal Singh Block and Bamyal Post was also taken out early on Thursday morning.

However, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Pathankot Rakesh Kaushal, who termed this flag march as a routine practice, claimed that the march was to instigate the sense of confidence among the villagers, who are also helping security agencies by passing on information from time to time.

He claimed that on zero line in nearly twenty villages, this flag march was taken out and “we are keeping a close eye on the shepherd community, which has settled here on the border villages and can be used by the infiltrating militant groups for their purposes,” he added.

He admitted that Air Force authorities have pasted posters, which was their own style of keeping their area guarded from any intrusion, SSP said.

Pathankot Air Base was attacked on January 2 this year by heavily armed militants, who were later killed by the security agencies; while three militants had stormed Dinanagar Police Station last year, who were also gunned down by the SWAT team of Punjab Police.

This is extremely tragic and inhuman act. Why govts and agencies are becoming so cruel and intolerant. An unsuspecting civilian can get killed just by walking close to these. What a shame :(:(

Nope, They say You will be shot if you trespass,not if you walk by.

Risk of miscalculations are high. If the security people see someone getting close, they can shoot....and who will decide what was the intention later on especially if the victim passes away?

You do realize that probably a similar sign is posted outside Kalaikunda air base where RSAF F-16s are stationed.

Why you will get close to wall if you are just bypasser and if you wanna go in gates are there. Also the "Trespass " means if you get inside Airbase area not if you pass by.
So may be some chance of mistake but not that much.

Its a case of Once bitten twice shy.
After what happened earlier at the very camp, don't think security forces are taking any chances.

It is not matter of allowing but how to deal with it. Of course they don't allow irrelevant people but they do not shoot them. They will give passive and active warning and if the people do not pay attention, they will be arrested and investigated to find the out the reason. Most of them will be released and some of them will be punished according to the rules.

Signs exactly like that were put outside Mehran/Faisal Base in Karachi after the terrorist attack there. A military site should be strictly controlled without needing an attack to happen first.
