Srinagar- For the first time, there was an ease in frisking operations across Srinagar city ahead of the Independence Day even as J&K’s security grid is on a highest level of alert to ensure peaceful conduct of all official functions on August 15.
Sources said that Srinagar city witnessed ease in frisking operations for the first time even though the main venue of Bakshi Stadium has already been fortified by the security agencies especially police and special security guards (SSGs). “We felt there was almost zero frisking in Srinagar for the first time. People were moving around the city freely without any hassle,” said Ghulam Qadir, a shopkeeper at Lal Chowk.
Police sources said that ease in frisking was in the wake of improvement in the overall security situation. They said the main venue Bakshi Stadium has been fortified and sharp shooters have been deployed to the nearby buildings. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha will unfurl the tri-colour at the Bakshi Stadium while as his advisor RR Bhatnagar will take salute of the parade at Moulana Azad Stadium Jammu.
