This decision follows recent attempts by Pakistan to target multiple military sites in northern and western India, including Nal, Phalodi, and Uttarlai in Rajasthan, using drones and missiles, leading authorities to place these districts on high alert.

The district administration has appealed to the public to share this information further and help ensure the collective safety of the community.
