Army Carries Out High Altitude Patrolling In J & K's Doda District


(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Jammu – With tourist destinations reopened across Jammu and Kashmir by the government, Army troops implemented various security measures, including high-altitude patrolling in forests and mountainous terrains in the Bhaderwah belt of Doda district on Thursday.

The steps have been taken by the Army following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack to ensure a peaceful atmosphere in the hilly areas, especially with the Amarnath Yatra set to begin on July 3.

Armed with drones for aerial surveillance and rocket launchers, Rashtriya Rifles troops carried out patrolling and security operations in various upper reaches of Bhaderwah, officials said.

The operation aimed to serve as a confidence-building measure among locals and tourists, besides keeping a close watch on the activities of terrorists, they said.

Bhaderwah, often referred to as 'mini Kashmir,' is adorned with dozens of tourist destinations that attract hundreds of visitors throughout the year.
