CRPF introduces Women's Assistance Teams for Amarnath Yatra
Heading to the Amarnath Yatra this year? Over 3.3 lakh pilgrims will trek to the famous cave shrine in Jammu and Kashmir from July 3, using either the long Nunwan-Pahalgam route or the shorter Baltal path.
With so many people making the journey, security is tighter than ever.
Women officers in 'May I Help You' vests
The CRPF has rolled out 219 companies for security, plus special mountain rescue teams ready for emergencies along both routes.
Women officers in 'May I Help You' vests will be there on the Baltal path to assist female travelers—making things a bit more comfortable for everyone.
No-fly zone in place until August 10
Facial recognition cameras are now active on the Pahalgam route to spot blacklisted individuals instantly.
There are also K-9 squads, regular patrols, and joint drills preparing for landslides or other surprises.
To keep things even safer, a no-fly zone is in place until August 10—so everyone can focus on their journey without worry.
