Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has decided to put in place an aerial surveillance cover on the areas in Kashmir where the minority community members are living so that they are saved from the further attacks here.

This was said by DIG Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and he said that this surveillance cover would be given to those areas with the active support of Jammu and Kashmir police.

The cover has been given also due to the fact that Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to J&K on October 23 as the police and other security agencies want to be alert in order to avoid any untoward incident.

Reporting about the cover by CRPF, KNO in its news report said on Friday as follows.

Police and the CRPF tested drones at Pratap Park area of Srinagar on Friday ahead of Shah’s visit. Talking to reporters, Deputy Inspector General of CRPF (operations) Mathev A John said that CRPF along with the Police have tested drones that will be used for aerial monitoring of the areas where members of minority communities are living. “The step has been taken in the wake of recent attacks on minority community members and non-local labourers,” the DIG CRPF said. He said that there will also be aerial surveillance in Lal chowk and its adjoining areas.

The CRPF officer said that in Lal Chowk additional round the clock nakas have been put in place jointly by the Police and CRPF to keep a close watch on the suspects.
