Srinagar\/Jammu, Nov 11: A day after a car bomb blast near Red Fort in New Delhi left more than ten persons dead, authorities on Tuesday sounded a high alert in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
An official told the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that all districts have been asked to maintain maximum alertness, especially border regions and main cities.<\/p>\n
He said that security checks have been increased along highways, railway stations, religious sites, and public gatherings, including the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine and Katra.<\/p>\n
The official said that the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway is witnessing strict vehicle screening, while in Pulwama, Special Operations Group (SOG) teams have been conducting door-to-door searches since morning, the official said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe J&K Police have also stepped up checks on vehicles and pedestrians across Handwara, Qalamabad, Kralgund, and Vilgam. Check-posts have been set up at key routes and sensitive locations, where thorough frisking and verification are being carried out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Security measures, the officials said, aim to ensure public safety, maintain peace, and prevent any attempts by terrorists to disturb law and order in the region.<\/p>\n
During the past few days, Police have detained around 1,500 individuals across Kashmir in a large-scale operation aimed at dismantling terror support networks.<\/p>\n
The crackdown, described by officials as a \u201cpre-emptive strike,\u201d targeted suspected overground workers, sympathisers, and family members of terrorists operating from across the border.<\/p>\n
Police conducted coordinated raids, cordon-and-search operations, and inspections of SIM card vendors across north, south, and central Kashmir. Searches also focused on digital devices to track terrorist links.<\/p>\n
The Kashmir link in the Red Fort incident has prompted the NIA and J&K Police to carry out coordinated raids across Pulwama, Anantnag, and Srinagar.<\/p>\n
Multiple suspects are being questioned, including Dr. Sajad Ahmad Malla and relatives of Dr. Umar Mohammad, who investigating agencies said was driving the car used in the Delhi blast. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
