Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Nalin Prabhat on Thursday reviewed operational deployment and security arrangements for the upcoming Kousarnag Yatra. The meeting was held with officers from J&K Police, 2 Sector RR, 14 Sector RR and the Central Reserve Police Force.
Discussions focused on ensuring foolproof security and smooth conduct of the yatra. No specific dates for the pilgrimage were disclosed in the review.
The Kousarnag Yatra is an annual Hindu pilgrimage to the Kousarnag spring in south Kashmir's Shopian district. Security reviews have intensified after militant attacks on pilgrim convoys in recent years, including the 2017 Amarnath Yatra attack. The involvement of Rashtriya Rifles sectors indicates the area falls under a counter-insurgency grid. With no official yatra dates announced yet, the review signals the administration is in early planning stages. The next concrete signal will be the release of the yatra schedule by the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board or the district administration.
