Security Tightened for Amit Shah's Kashmir Visit

Security forces in Kashmir are on heightened alert as Union Home Minister Amit Shah begins his three-day visit on Thursday, officials report. Police and CRPF personnel conducted area dominance exercises and surprise checks in and around the commercial hub of Lal Chowk, according to sources.

Significant numbers of security personnel have been deployed, with intensified random vehicle checks and frisking operations. These measures aim to ensure safety and security during Shah's scheduled visit to the region.

In a surprise operation on Wednesday, security forces cordoned off the Ab Guzar area in Srinagar, conducting searches and frisking passersby. These steps are part of the broader security mechanism in place for the visit.
