Srinagar: Security has been beefed up in the summer capital, Srinagar, and other parts of Kashmir valley to foil any attempts by militants to cause disruption and carry out attacks on the eve of US President Donald Trump’s visit to India.
Jammu and Kashmir Police said that security forces have take all measures to prevent militants from carrying out any subversive activities during President Trump’s visit to India on Monday.
Meanwhile, All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) on Saturday said that the visit of President to India from Monday leads to fear psychosis and panic among Sikhs living in the Kashmir valley. “The whole India seems to be busy in making preparations for Trump’s visit, but for Sikhs of Kashmir the visit has brought with it fears that the members of community are yet again on the radar,” chairman of APSCC Jagmohan Singh Raina said in a statement here this afternoon.
Official sources told UNI that security forces have been put on high alert across Kashmir, including Srinagar, on the eve of President Trump’s visit.
“Security forces have been deployed in strength in the city, including civil lines, and other parts of Kashmir to prevent any militant attack. Forces have established checkpoints on the roads leading to Srinagar from other districts of the valley,” they said.
They said the vehicles at the checkpoint are being checked and passengers onboard are being frisked before allowing them inside the city.
