Indian government gives clearance to move forward and store Prithvi Missiles close to Pak-border
ISLAMABAD, June 17 (APP)- The BJP Government has accorded political clearance for moving forward and storage of Prithvi Missiles at sites close to Pakistan border. Informed sources have revealed that the intense reconnaissance is under way in selected areas of India's western borders, to select and prepare sites for deployment of the missiles against Pakistan. Indians are selecting these sites for deployment of Prithvi Missiles in a belt 20 KM to 30 KM from the border. The close proximity of the storage sites to borders and advanced selection of firing sites will enable Indians to considerably reduce their reaction time whenever they decide to employ them against targets in Pakistan.
