Anantnag, June 22 (KNC): In a major step towards strengthening security arrangements for the upcoming Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra-2026, Anantnag Police has established strategically positioned high-rise observation posts, popularly known as Machan Morchas, at key locations along the pilgrimage route and other vulnerable areas.

The initiative forms part of the comprehensive security strategy being implemented by Anantnag Police to ensure a safe, secure, and incident-free pilgrimage.

Trained security personnel deployed at these vantage points will maintain round-the-clock vigilance to ensure seamless surveillance and coordinated security operations.

The deployment of these high-rise observation posts reflects the proactive approach of Anantnag Police in reinforcing the security grid and safeguarding the thousands of devotees expected to undertake the annual pilgrimage.
