Elaborate security measures were finalised on Tuesday for the upcoming meeting of delegates from G20 nations in Jammu and Kashmir’s summer capital Srinagar from May 22 to counter the potential threats of ‘fidayeen’ attacks and threats posed by the use of vehicles and drones by militants.
Drones embedded with smart technologies and policemen in civvies will be the hallmark of the security drill during the delegates’ stay in Kashmir. Scores of bunkers in Srinagar have been given a facelift and several barriers already removed from roads.
Marine commandos are likely to be put in place to provide a strong security cover for the water bodies around the summit venue, Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC), near Srinagar’s Dal Lake.
