The government on Wednesday, in an extreme measure, sealed the borders of the state of Rajasthan which shares over 1,000 km of border with Pakistan on its western side.
The action has been taken following the inputs that four activists of the Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI, have entered India through the border state, said a report.
Also, the borders of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh have also been sealed after the authorities received inputs from the central intelligence agencies about the possibility of terror attacks, added the reports.
