Amritsar Commissionerate Police have rolled out a comprehensive security plan across the city to ensure the smooth and safe conduct of the Amarnath Yatra. The measures include enhanced deployment of police personnel and the addition of one company of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) to bolster the security cover.
Traffic Management and Flag March
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Investigation) Ravinder Pal Singh announced that special traffic management measures have been introduced to facilitate the uninterrupted movement of the yatra convoy while minimizing inconvenience to the general public. Under his leadership, a flag march was conducted across the city, involving Additional Deputy Commissioners of Police, Assistant Commissioners of Police, Station House Officers (SHOs), and a large contingent of police personnel. The march passed through major markets, crowded localities, and other sensitive areas to send a strong message to anti-social elements and reassure citizens about their safety.
Commitment to Public Safety
Police officials stated that the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to maintain peace, strengthen the security environment, and deter anyone attempting to disrupt public order. Commissioner of Police Gurpreet Singh Bhullar emphasized that the Amritsar Commissionerate Police remain fully committed to ensuring the safety of citizens and protecting life and property. He warned that strict action would be taken against anyone attempting to disturb law and order, adding that no one would be allowed to take the law into their own hands.
Appeal for Vigilance
Bhullar appealed to residents to remain vigilant, refrain from spreading rumors, and avoid sharing unverified information on social media. Citizens were urged to immediately inform the police about any suspicious person, object, or activity, stressing that public cooperation is essential for maintaining peace and communal harmony in the city. The police announced that intensive security measures, including flag marches, special checkpoints, vehicle inspections, patrolling, and search operations, would continue in the coming days to ensure a safe environment and maintain law and order. Reiterating their commitment to public safety, the police assured residents that safeguarding citizens would remain their highest priority and that personnel would continue to maintain round-the-clock vigil.
