Jammu: BSF Director General D.K. Pathak will be here on Friday to take stock of security on the international border following the discovery of a 50-metre long tunnel in R.S. Pura sector of Jammu district.

A patrol party of the Border Security Force (BSF) had on Thursday discovered a 50-metre long tunnel at AMK (Allah Mai Kothay) area in R.S. Pura sector.

"The underground tunnel was 50-metre long with the other end leading into the Pakistan side of the international border," an official of the BSF said here.
