A potential tragedy was narrowly avoided on one of Kashmir’s busiest arteries—the Srinagar-Baramulla National Highway—thanks to the sharp eyes of patrolling security personnel. Spotting a dubious package, they sealed the zone, stopped all movement, and summoned experts to handle the suspected IED.
The operation unfolded seamlessly: BDS experts arrived, assessed, and defused the bomb in a controlled manner, preventing any harm. Support from specialized police units ensured comprehensive coverage, turning peril into a success story of inter-agency synergy.
In the aftermath, heightened security protocols are in place. Extensive combing operations, aided by technology and K9 squads, aim to root out hidden dangers. Forensic analysis of the site, combined with digital and human intelligence, is piecing together the plot’s origins.
This event echoes a prior IED find, signaling terrorists’ desperate tactics amid tightened security. Officials vow sustained countermeasures, underscoring that such vigilance protects not just the highway but the broader quest for stability in Jammu and Kashmir.
