Good to see such detailed security planning for Amarnath Yatra. After the 2022 incident, we can't take any chances. Hope the forces remain extra vigilant this time. Jai Baba Barfani! 🙏

The coordination between CRPF, CISF and local police is crucial. Last year my uncle went for Yatra and said security was tight but pilgrims faced long delays. Hope traffic management improves this time.

While security is important, sometimes excessive checking causes inconvenience to genuine pilgrims. Authorities should find balance between safety and smooth pilgrimage experience.

Appreciate the police help desks being set up. First-time pilgrims often need guidance. Maybe they can also provide basic medical assistance at these points? #SafeYatra

The DIG's focus on coordinated efforts is spot on. In sensitive areas like Ramban, all forces must work as one team. Our jawans are doing great work under challenging conditions. Salute!

Hope they include local Kashmiri Muslims in security planning too. Their cooperation is essential for smooth yatra. This pilgrimage belongs to all of India, regardless of religion.
