Discuss the final security review for Amarnath Yatra scheduled on June 27 by MHA.
- The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) canceled the yatra in 2020 due to Covid-19. However, the authorities have decided to allow the pilgrimage this year following strict COVID-19 protocols.
- The MHA has reviewed the security arrangements for the yatra and has deployed additional security forces along the pilgrimage route to ensure a safe and secure yatra for devotees.
- The security forces have been instructed to carry out extensive area domination, including patrolling, and sanitization due to the threat of COVID-19 and for the safety of the devotees
- The MHA has also issued strict instructions for vehicle checks and the installation of CCTVs along the yatra route to ensure real-time monitoring of the movements of the pilgrims.
- The yatra is going to be conducted in a staggered manner and with a limited number of pilgrims each day, which will help in maintaining social distancing and avoiding large gatherings at the holy cave.
- The Jammu and Kashmir administration has taken all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of the pilgrims, and the authorities are closely monitoring the situation to ensure a smooth and peaceful event.
