The Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage begins on June 29th, and authorities are taking security very seriously. Here’s a breakdown of the measures in place:
- Three-Tier Security at Base Camp: Jammu’s Bhagwati Nagar base camp, the starting point for many pilgrims, has heavy security. This includes security personnel, body scanners, and CCTV cameras (including 360-degree ones) for constant monitoring.
- Secured Routes: The Jammu-Kashmir highway used by pilgrims is under tight control. Security forces are patrolling the route, and checkpoints are set up to prevent any threats.
- Quick Response Teams: Special teams are ready to respond quickly to any incident.
- Overall Vigilance: High-rise buildings along the route are being monitored, and authorities are on high alert to maintain order.
