Rajnath Singh reviews J&K security, Amarnath Yatra preparations
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh visited Jammu and Kashmir to review security with top Army officials, just before the Amarnath Yatra kicks off on July 3.
Alongside Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, he also joined soldiers for International Yoga Day.
The main focus: making sure key pilgrimage routes like Pahalgam, Baltal, and the Jammu-Srinagar highway are safe for thousands of expected pilgrims.
Focus on safe passage for pilgrims
Jammu and Kashmir faces ongoing militant threats, especially around borders and forests—so keeping the Amarnath Yatra safe is a big deal.
With so many people traveling for the pilgrimage every year, tight security is crucial.
Singh's hands-on approach shows the government's commitment to peace and safety during this sensitive time.
The Army's layered deployment aims to protect both devotees and regional stability throughout the event.
