To ensure smooth and peaceful conduct of the 58-day-long Yatra, which starts from June 28 is our main motive.
All the officers have been directed to be on high alert and work with synergy. They have also been asked to share intelligence on real time basis so that the nefarious designs of anti-national elements can be thwarted.
WE have also stressed upon the officers to organize night patrolling on the highway regularly and to maintain close cooperation with all forces deployed in their areas.
