*Police In Anantnag Strengthens Operational Readiness Through Simulated Sniper Attack Response Exercise at Langabal, Pahalgam*
*June 28*: As part of the elaborate security preparedness for the forthcoming Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra (SANJY-2026), Police in Anantnag conducted a comprehensive mock drill based on a simulated sniper attack scenario at Langabal, Pahalgam, to assess and enhance the operational readiness of security forces.
The exercise was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of emergency response protocols, inter-agency coordination, and tactical decision-making in the event of a hostile attack. Upon activation of the simulated threat, security personnel swiftly secured the area, neutralized the situation through coordinated tactical measures, facilitated the safe evacuation of civilians, managed simulated casualties, and carried out area domination and search operations in accordance with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
The mock drill witnessed the active participation of Police, CRPF, Health Department, Fire & Emergency Services, SDRF, and other stakeholder agencies, reflecting a high level of coordination and preparedness among all responding teams.
Police remains steadfast in its commitment to providing a secure and peaceful environment for pilgrims and the general public during SANJY-2026. Such realistic training exercises are conducted regularly to reinforce preparedness and ensure a swift, coordinated, and effective response to any security contingency.“`
