In preparation for the upcoming Republic Day celebrations in Kashmir, security forces conducted intensive anti-sabotage searches in the residential and commercial hubs surrounding Bakshi Stadium.
Security Operations Overview
Official reports indicate that the operation focused on the densely populated Amirakadal and Maharaja Bazaar areas. These locations are strategically significant due to their proximity to both the stadium—the region’s primary venue for national holiday events—and the iconic Lal Chowk Clock Tower.
Key details of the search included:
- Specialized Units: Security personnel deployed sniffer dogs and used advanced metal detectors.
- Scope: Teams inspected residential units and business premises to preemptively clear any hidden explosives, arms, or ammunition.
- Current Status: Officials confirmed that no suspicious items have been found thus far.
