Some villagers reported that they had seen two men in army fatigues in Tibri, which is a cantonment area, police said.
Police immediately reported the matter to Army and a joint search operation was launched, said SSP Gurpreet Singh.
There were also reports that five terrorists had sneaked into the border area of Gurdaspur and Pathankot, following which army formations have been put on alert, officials said.
Gurdaspur was targeted by Pakistani terrorists in July last year also when they struck at a police station here.
Six terrorists in army fatigues attacked the Air Base in Pathankot on Saturday last, leading to an encounter that lasted over four days.
