Kashmir valley will witness increased security in terms of electronic surveillance as drone grids and CCTV will be installed in places that witnessed killings in recent weeks.
A new integrated security system will be in place in Kashmir Valley soon in coordination with the Indian Army and the central security agencies.
Quoting sources, news agency IANS reported that Jammu and Kashmir Police will be in the lead role in preventing attacks in coordination with other security stakeholders and they have been asked to strengthen the human intelligence gathering on the ground.
Round the clock electronic surveillance in vulnerable areas, better intelligence networks and strong patrolling on roads and highways around the cities to prevent entry and exit of the militants with more barricading and placing of the security bunkers will be the key features of the new security systems, a government source said, as per IANS.
Under the electronic surveillance, drone grids are being set up in those areas where the non-Kashmiri and the migrant labourers have been living and in some places more CCTV cameras are getting installed.
Under the drone grid system, a round the clock control room has been set up to closely monitor the movement of suspicious elements and on identifications of any such movement in the areas, the security personnel on the ground will be alerted soon on a real-time basis.
The security agencies have also been keeping an eye on over 80 families whose youngsters have left home and are absconding since long as they believe that these youths might be used by the militant organisations to execute these killings, as per the report.
Quoting an official in the government set up, the report said that during the review meeting on October 23, the Union Home Minister asked the officials why the dual threats of radicalisation and home-grown militancy were on the rise despite massive presence of the forces and extensive outreach effort made by the government.
