He said, “This advanced technology is a force multiplier in our mission to secure the region. Our goal is to ensure the safety of commuters while maintaining peace and order along the stretch.”
On the occasion, the top-ranking officers including DIG South Kashmir Range, Commander 1 Sector Rashtriya Rifles, SSP Kulgam and others visited the site to oversee the operational readiness of the newly installed systems—(KNO)
