Security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir are preparing to host an extra number of pilgrims in the camping cities this year during the Amarnath Yatra and a detailed deployment is in place to safeguard the pilgrimage, according to Deputy Inspector General (DIG), CRPF, Rajendra Prasad.
“All the security agencies have been planning for the Yatra for the past two to three months. We are fully ready to cater to the expected extra pilgrims this year and security has been planned for the camping cities. There will be challenges but we are fully prepared,” Mr. Prasad stated during a medical camp for pilgrims in Jammu on May 24.
Both evil as well as good elements were present in society and “people should keep an eye on anti-national elements and report any suspicious movement”, Mr. Prasad noted.
