UDHAMPUR, JAN 18: In a proactive move to ensure an airtight security blanket for the upcoming Republic Day celebrations, the Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan (MCTM) Railway Station has been transformed into a high-security fortress.
A specialized joint task force, comprising the Government Railway Police (GRP) and highly trained units from the Dog Squad, today executed an intensive sanitization sweep across the strategic Udhampur-Katra rail link.
This high-stakes operation involved a meticulous scanning of the tracks, railway platforms, and peripheral zones to preemptively neutralize any potential threats and ensure a seamless, incident-free national holiday.
The heightened alert reflects a zero-tolerance approach to security lapses in the region, with the GRP implementing a comprehensive surveillance protocol that includes round-the-clock patrolling and enhanced baggage screening.
By deploying K9 units to sniff out explosives and suspicious items along the critical transit route, security agencies are leaving no stone unturned in safeguarding commuters and infrastructure.
This surge in tactical presence at MCTM Railway Station serves as a stern deterrent against any subversive elements, reassuring the public that the district’s vital transport arteries are under constant, expert watch as the nation prepares for the January 26 festivities.
