Ahead of launching the Vande Bharat Express train from Katra to Srinagar in the coming weeks, a dedicated security grid comprising the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Railway Police (GRP), CRPF, and the Indian Army has been established to ensure fool-proof security arrangements along the track and the newly opened railway stations.
High-value targets such as the world's highest arch bridge over the River Chenab and cable-stayed bridge over Anji Khad have been kept on the high priority list. Dedicated teams of security personnel have been deployed at these locations to ensure round-the-clock surveillance. State-of-the-art electronic surveillance has also been installed to assist the human eye in preventing terrorist strikes.
