It was also pointed out to the alarming trend of the terrorists taking refuge in Masjids and Madrassas prior or after the act of committing terror activities in an attempt to create communal disturbance.
The issue of drug menace in the valley and the negative effects manifesting because of it was deliberated upon. The Corps Commander and the IGP urged the parents to reach out to their children and help arrest this regressive evil.
Among the myriad of issues discussed in the forum, the aspect of secure and smooth conduct of the Shri Amarnathji Yatra in the forthcoming summer factored prominently. The yatra this year is expected to draw large number of pilgrims as it is being resumed after a gap of two years due to the COVID restrictions.
The agencies deliberated on the safety measures to be put in place and synergised efforts at ensuring a smooth flow of traffic of yatris and provision of administrative and medical assistance from available resources.
