Security Drill at Shiv Khori: J&K Police Tightens Grips in Reasi

Heightened security protocols took center stage in Reasi as Jammu-Kashmir Police executed a detailed reconnaissance around Shiv Khori Temple on Wednesday. SSP Mukund Tibrewal’s hands-on leadership ensured no stone was left unturned in assessing vulnerabilities.

Key checkpoints—Domel, Special Post Ikhani, and Jhandi Morh—underwent intensive audits. Joined by ASP Iftekhar Ahmad and Pouni DySP Smriti Sharma, the team probed staffing, readiness, and tactical setups.

Patrol routines must be regimented daily, with long-haul sweeps mandatory. Tech-driven enhancements were advocated for patrols in challenging topographies, alongside deepened partnerships with village guards and residents.

At Ransu station, infrastructure audits covered essentials, tools, and after-dark maneuvers. In-depth probes into property rooms, records, cells, and operations pinpointed areas for upliftment—secure evidence handling, flawless records, and hygiene standards.

The SSP’s call for precision paperwork, disciplined archiving, ethical conduct, and compliance sets a high bar. It’s a testament to Reasi’s pursuit of elite policing and ironclad protection for all.

This diligence is non-negotiable in a district cradling Katra and the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage hub. Innumerable faith-driven journeys converge on Trikuta peaks each year. The June 2024 bus carnage by militants—nine dead, 33 wounded, gorge plunge—serves as a grim reminder of stakes involved.
