Stage set for tomorrow’s polling in high profile Udhampur LS seat amid high security
Jammu and Kashmir has five Lok Sabha constituencies and each one will go to polls in separate phases because of security reasons.
The CRPF, as a special security measure is fixing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) on vehicles of all Amarnath pilgrims to track their movement.
A spokesman of CRPF said that the objective of RFID tags is to ensure the security of yatra vehicles. For this purpose, CRPF has established RFID tagging centres at various places in the Jammu region, including Lakhanpur, Civil Airport Jammu, Railway Station, Bus Stand, Yatri Base camp Bhagwati Nagar Jammu, Ban Toll Plaza, Roun village in Udhampur and Nashri Tunnel.
While appealing the yatris and issuing necessary guidance related to security, the CRPF is expecting cooperation from the yatris, he said. Pamphlets containing these guidelines are also being distributed by the CRPF among the yatris.
