June 15: As part of the elaborate security arrangements for the forthcoming Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra-2026, Police in Anantnag have intensified anti-sabotage measures across the district to ensure a safe, secure, and incident-free pilgrimage.
Specialized teams of Anantnag Police are conducting extensive anti-sabotage checks and area domination exercises along the entire Yatra route from Khanabal to Pahalgam, covering all critical locations, transit points, lodgement centres, parking areas, and vulnerable spots. These comprehensive checks are being carried out using advanced security gadgets and modern detection equipment to identify and neutralize any potential security threats.
The anti-sabotage operations are being supported by highly trained K9 squads (sniffer dogs), bomb detection teams, and technical surveillance units, which are thoroughly sanitizing the Yatra axis and adjoining areas. Particular focus is being laid on the inspection of vehicles, including abandoned and unattended vehicles, to prevent any misuse by anti-national elements.
In addition, special security checks are being conducted at railway stations, railway tracks, bridges, culverts, public utility installations, and other critical infrastructure falling within the district. Regular searches and sanitization drives are also being carried out to maintain a robust security environment ahead of the pilgrimage.
J&K Police is working round the clock to ensure that all security protocols are meticulously implemented and that every aspect of Yatra preparedness is continuously reviewed and strengthened.
The public is requested to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activity, object, or unattended vehicle to the nearest police establishment. J&K Police reiterates its commitment to ensuring a peaceful, secure, and spiritually fulfilling Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra-2026 for all pilgrims.
