Srinagar: Enhanced Security System In Place For Amarnath Yatra 2024

0 179

In Jammu and Kashmir, a three-tier security system has been put in place in and around Yatri Niwas and other base camps in Jammu for Amarnath Yatra 2024. Akashvani Jammu Correspondent reports that a network of high-end CCTV cameras has been installed along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway to monitor both pilgrimage and regular traffic.

The first batch of Yatra will leave from Jammu on June 28. The 52-day pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine of Amarnath, located at a height of 3,880 meters, will commence from the twin tracks—the traditional 48-kilometer Nunwan-Pahalgam route in Anantnag district and the 14-kilometer shorter but steeper Baltal route in Ganderbal district on June 29.

Adequate security arrangements have been made for the Yatra, and police have also secured the Jammu-Srinagar national highway through which the Yatra will pass every day. Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) have been activated, high-rise buildings dominated, and the security machinery is in law and order mode. All measures are in place for an incident-free Yatra.

The Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in Jammu serves as the primary base camp for pilgrims nationwide before they proceed to the cave shrine of Amarnath in the Himalayas of south Kashmir. Body scanners and CCTV cameras, including large 360-degree cameras, have been installed to monitor the camp and its surroundings round-the-clock.

Several companies of the paramilitary are being deployed for security. A control room has been established in Ramban to oversee traffic movement around the clock in order to manage congestion, traffic jams, and other issues.
