**Jammu, June 30, 2025** – In preparation for the annual Shri Amarnathji Yatra, which commences on July 3rd, security forces in Jammu have implemented heightened security measures across the city.

A joint mock landslide drill was conducted by the Army, CRPF, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and JKSDRF (State Disaster Response Force) at Samroli, Toldi Nallah in Udhampur on June 29, 2025, simulating emergency response procedures in case of such disasters.

The Jammu Police have established numerous checkpoints throughout the city, conducting daily anti-sabotage checks to ensure the safety of pilgrims. The 38-day pilgrimage is expected to draw thousands of devotees to the 3,880-meter-high Amarnath cave shrine via the traditional Pahalgam and shorter Baltal routes.

“In view of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, the Jammu Police has significantly bolstered the security arrangements by establishing joint nakas [checkpoints] at multiple strategic locations across the district,” a police spokesperson stated. Personnel from various security agencies, including the CISF, CRPF, and ITBP, have been deployed for intensive frisking, surveillance, and verification operations.

Senior police officers are personally overseeing the operations, emphasizing the need for both rigorous security checks and respectful interactions with pilgrims. Special attention is being given to vehicle inspections, identity verification, and the detection of suspicious activity using technical inputs and facial recognition systems. Random checks are also being conducted at hotels, guesthouses, and lodgement centers.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Jammu, Joginder Singh, along with senior officials, conducted a comprehensive security review along the yatra route from Nagrota to Saloora on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway. Officers were briefed on current threat scenarios and standard operating procedures, with an emphasis on daily anti-sabotage checks, particularly in areas with ongoing expressway construction.
