Srinagar, Mar 30: Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Vijay Kumar on Tuesday reviewed the overall security scenario in the valley and directed officials to revisit the existing deployments -- including checkpoints at strategic locations, surprise nakas, limited surprise search operations in crowded places.
The review holds significance as it comes a day after a militant attack that left two municipal councilors and a policeman dead in the apple township of Sopore in north Kashmir district of Baramulla.
A police spokesperson said that in the aftermath of recent militant attacks, the IGP Kashmir chaired a security review meeting at Police Control Room (PCR) Kashmir through video conferencing with Range DIGs and district SSPs of Kashmir Zone. DIG CKR Srinagar and SSP Srinagar attended the meeting at PCR Kashmir.
On the occasion, the IGP Kashmir was briefed by the participating officers about the overall security scenarios in their respective areas and the security measures being adopted to counter the challenges.
Interacting with the officers, the IGP Kashmir urged upon them to revisit the existing security deployments including checkpoints/nakas at strategic locations, surprise nakas, limited surprise Cordon and Search Operations (CASOs) in crowded places etc. He also urged upon the officers to strategize the deployments on day-to-day basis to thwart the nefarious designs of militants and anti-national elements in view of huge rush of tourists and upcoming Amarnath Yatra.
He also stressed for better synergy and coordination with other security agencies deployed in their respective areas besides ensuring regular briefing of the manpower working under their command at all the levels on ground.
Highlighting the importance of the measures to be adopted post-militant attack, Mr Kumar directed officers to formulate proper SOPs so that all proactive measures are adopted immediately which include CASOs, placing cut-off points on exit routes, use of drones etc. to avoid the escape of culprits/suspects.
The IGP Kashmir also directed the officers to review the existing security deployed with the PPs/vulnerable persons residing in their respective areas.

It was also decided that a proper SOP regarding security of protected persons/vulnerable persons containing DOs/DON’Ts shall be formulated and issued shortly.
The IGP also reiterated the need to enhance anti-militancy grid by generating specific intelligence and intensify CASOs/anti-militancy operations in their respective districts and take all proactive steps for maintaining peace and stability in their respective areas. He also emphasized upon the officers to keep strict vigil over the militant associates and take all necessary measures under law against them. |
