Srinagar- Following the November 10 Red Fort blast in New Delhi that killed more than 10 people, security forces across Jammu and Kashmir have intensified vigil and launched wide-ranging search operations to prevent any potential threat, officials said on Monday.

An official said that security forces across both regions have been placed on high alert.
“Frisking has been intensified in markets, railway stations, and other public places, and CASOs are being launched to ensure public safety,” he said.

The official described the ongoing measures as the“largest-ever non-kinetic crackdown” in recent years. At the Jammu Railway Station, hundreds of additional personnel from multiple security wings have been deployed, he said.

A witness at the station said that every traveller is undergoing thorough checks before entering the premises.
“Security teams with advanced scanners and canine units are frisking passengers, inspecting luggage, and verifying identities in real time,” the witness added.

Officials said similar measures are in place across the Jammu region, including border districts and sensitive stretches along key highways. From Kathua to Udhampur, police teams are conducting two-way vehicle checks and intensifying frisking as part of the region-wide security drill.

In the Kashmir Valley, officials said police and CRPF personnel are carrying out vehicle checks, CASOs, and identity verifications at multiple locations as the general alert level remains high.

“From North to South Kashmir, security teams are thoroughly checking vehicles and verifying registration documents,” an official said.
