IGP Jammu Zone reviews -2025 readiness. Visits ground and sector in .

Jammu , June 18th , 20025:- As part of the ongoing preparations for the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra (SANJY)-2025, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Jammu Zone, Shri Bhim Sen Tuti, IPS, conducted a detailed on-site inspection of Lambar ground in district Ramban, a key halt and transit point along the Yatra route. The visit aimed to assess the preparedness of the security apparatus, civil infrastructure, and inter-agency coordination required to ensure the safe and smooth passage of Yatris through this vital sector.

2. During the inspection, the IGP also reviewed the availability of critical civil infrastructure at Lambar Ground, including tentage, drinking water, sanitation, and power backup facilities to ensure a comfortable stopover for pilgrims. He emphasized the importance of joint drills, intelligence-based planning, and public-friendly policing to boost pilgrim confidence. Officers were directed to proactively identify and plug gaps through timely inspections and inter-agency coordination, and to maintain a high standard of preparedness throughout the Yatra period.

3. The IGP also chaired a comprehensive review meeting at PCR Ramban, attended by DIG DKR Range, Sh Shridhar Patil, IPS; SSP Ramban, Sh Kulbir Singh, JKPS; other officers of the J&K Police; and representatives from other security forces. The discussions centred around security deployment patterns, convoy regulation, emergency medical services, and disaster response mechanisms. Specific attention was given to surveillance systems, force deployment in vulnerable areas, and functionality of communication networks to maintain uninterrupted coordination during the Yatra.

4. In addition, Shri Tuti also inspected the National Highway sector, taking stock of ongoing construction and repair work to ensure readiness of the route ahead of the Yatra. He was joined by SSP National Highway Ramban, Shri Adil Hamid, JKPS, during this segment of the visit. The IGP thoroughly evaluated the traffic management plans to facilitate timely convoy movement through high-risk stretches and directed officers to ensure round-the-clock operational readiness, particularly in light of the region’s susceptibility to landslides and unpredictable weather conditions.
