Rapid Read Following Kulgam, Anantnag Attacks, Kashmir Police Step Up Surveillance And Security. (Representative Image) Amid heightened security concerns following the recent terror attacks in Kulgam and Anantnag, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir V K Birdi on Monday chaired a high-level security review meeting, directing officers to strengthen counter-insurgency measures and reinforce the security grid across the Valley. The meeting focused on the prevailing security situation and reviewed the recent attacks in the two south Kashmir districts.
Senior police officers were instructed to take all necessary preventive measures, intensify area domination and maintain close surveillance in sensitive areas to thwart any attempts aimed at disturbing peace or targeting civilians. Focus On Counter-Insurgency And Surveillance During the review, officers assessed emerging security challenges and discussed measures being adopted to effectively counter them. Birdi directed all officers to continuously review and strengthen existing security arrangements while devising robust counter-insurgency strategies to respond to evolving threats. He also stressed the need for sustained vigilance and enhanced coordination among security agencies to ensure effective implementation of security measures across the Valley. Critical Infrastructure Under Security Lens The review also covered security arrangements for Highways, railway tracks and railway stations across Kashmir.
Officers were directed to further strengthen security deployments and checkpoints at vulnerable locations and along inter-district boundaries to ensure swift response and prevent any security breach. Special emphasis was laid on safeguarding critical infrastructure and ensuring the safety of vulnerable sections, with police reiterating their commitment to maintaining peace and public safety in the region. Background The security review comes days after two non-local labourers were killed in a terror attack in Kulgam, while a police personnel was shot dead in a separate attack in Anantnag, prompting security agencies to step up anti-terror operations and surveillance across Kashmir. The latest review forms part of the police’s ongoing efforts to reassess security preparedness and strengthen preventive measures in the wake of recent militant activity in the Valley.
