DIG reviews security for the yatris at Shadipora camp in Bandipora

Srinagar, June 25 (UNI) To ensure safety of Amarnath pilgrims, Deputy Inspector General of Police North Kashmir Maqsood-ul-Zaman conducted a detailed security review at the Shadipora Transit Camp in Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir.

The DIG was accompanied by SSP Bandipora Harmeet Singh and senior Central Armed Police Force officials during the visit to the camp.

Thousands of pilgrims stay at the Shadipora Transit Camp while on way to the holy Amarnath cave shrine via the Baltal route.
A police spokesman said that inspection focused heavily on mock drills conducted at the camp, where all agencies practised real scenario responses viz. crowd surges, emergency responses and evacuations to test inter agency coordination.
Further emphasis was placed on ground deployment rehearsals, verifying that police, CRPF, SSB, and other paramilitary forces are positioned precisely according to the layered security plan along yatri corridors.

DIG Zaman also ensured that specific, role-based SOPs were clearly defined and disseminated to all forces, covering surveillance duties, intelligence sharing, convoy regulation, traffic control, and emergency response.
He stressed that these SOPs are mandatory guidelines for full spectrum preparedness.

During the visit, DIG along with other officials also assessed the overarching deployment plan, surveillance infrastructure including CCTV, emergency response systems, and the logistical support framework encompassing traffic management, sanitation, and contingency response mechanisms essential for facilitating a safe and seamless pilgrimage experience.
