Security Tightened On Jammu Srinagar National Highway

Security has been tightened along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Ramban district as the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra continues, with authorities intensifying measures to protect pilgrims and the public. Security forces have increased vigilance through regular night domination exercises, expanded Quick Response Team vehicle patrolling and enhanced vehicle checking at strategic locations on the highway. Joint teams from multiple agencies are maintaining close surveillance and conducting comprehensive checking operations to preserve uninterrupted and secure movement. The reinforced approach aims to deter threats and ensure orderly passage for yatris.

A major joint checking operation was carried out in the Banihal area, where security personnel conducted thorough inspections of vehicles and cargo to identify and neutralise potential risks. The heightened vigilance in identified vulnerable stretches is part of a coordinated strategy to prevent untoward incidents and facilitate the safe, smooth and peaceful conduct of the pilgrimage. Authorities have also increased road signage, organised traffic management plans and coordinated with local administrations to address logistical challenges.

The Central Reserve Police Force has taken a lead role in the security grid along National Highway-44 and is conducting continuous Road Opening Party operations to maintain a seamless security blanket. The CRPF 84th Battalion has established a Mobile Health Camp at Chanderkote in Ramban district to provide round the clock medical care to pilgrims and local residents. Paramedical teams equipped with an Advanced Life Saving ambulance and essential medicines are delivering prompt care, while dedicated humanitarian services aim to support the welfare of yatris.

The medical facility functions under the supervision of Commandant CRPF 84 Battalion N Ranbir Singh and is led by Senior Medical Officer Dr Anantha Krishnan, with support from trained paramedical staff. The initiative aims to combine security and welfare efforts by offering medical assistance alongside patrol and checking operations, reflecting a comprehensive approach to crowd management. The 57-day Amarnath Yatra commenced on three July and is scheduled to conclude on 28 August, coinciding with the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Authorities remain focused on ensuring safety and facilitating orderly movement throughout the pilgrimage.
