The meeting emphasized ensuring fool-proof security of the yatris at track upto Bhawan and the direction has been given regarding this.

“The troops will carry out checking of all the suspected people so that no unwanted elements are allowed to indulge in any kind of criminal activities or any action which may prove prejudicial to the security of the area, besides this joint long-range patrols of JKP and CRPF have also been launched round the clock in the entire area of Katra and Bhawan and its surrounding areas,” the official informed.

In the meeting Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Reasi Amit Gupta presented a detailed security grid in place for Katara town and discussed various security measures going to be placed.

DIG highlighted the major challenge for the deployed security forces in the coming days and stressed frequent verification and census of migrants in and around Katra town.

Character antecedents pony porters and other people entering the town should also be checked on priority required to segregate the suspicious elements.

DIG also directed to conduct checking of the hotels and other residential accommodations regularly for verification of character antecedents of the person visiting there.

All concerned officers were further directed to revisit the list of OGWs of the Police Stations and monitor social media including Facebook, and WhatsApp to curb the new pattern of radicalization.

SSP Reasi Amit Gupta, Commandant CRPF, SP Katra, SDPO Katra, Deputy SP Bhawan, SHO Police Station Katra and Bhawan and Officers from Army, IB, CID, Railway and other intelligence agencies were present at the meeting.
