Unprecedented Security Blanket Across Jammu & Kashmir for Independence Day
Multi-tiered security arrangements, extensive patrolling, and drone surveillance deployed as security forces work to safeguard celebrations amid tragedy and unrest.
Security forces—including the Army, BSF, CRPF, CISF, and J&K Police—have mounted a multi-layer defense across the region for August 15 celebrations. Sentry posts, checkpoints, aerial surveillance, and drones monitor border areas, highways, and urban centers. Quick Response Teams are stationed strategically in key districts, and anti-sabotage checks continue at high-alert venues such as Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar and Maulana Azad Stadium in Jammu.
Extra vigilance is maintained in districts historically troubled by militancy, such as Rajouri and Poonch. Sniffer dogs, temporary bunkers, and random checks ensure crowd and venue safety. Police advisories urge citizen cooperation and rapid reporting of suspicious activity, while security grids are calibrated for maximum preparedness. The measures reflect both a legacy of unrest and new hopes for peaceful public events
