JAMMU, February 6, 2026 — Panic gripped the Dhabar Maira village under the jurisdiction of Gharota Police Station in Jammu district after a cluster of green and white balloons, reportedly originating from Pakistan, was discovered by local residents.
The balloons, which were found tied to a wooden stick, featured the printed text “National Wrestling Championship Pakistan 2026,” sparking immediate concern among the villagers due to the sensitive nature of the border region.
