Following the deadly Pahalgam incident in which 25 tourists were shot, a parliamentary committee recommended a comprehensive security and surveillance scheme for Jammu & Kashmir's key tourist locations. The proposal includes extensive CCTV installation, a centralized monitoring hub, and systematic vulnerability checks and audits. It also stresses the need for standardized operating procedures among agencies ahead of the high-season influx. The goal is to ensure rapid, coordinated responses to any security threat. Lawmakers hope the measures will restore confidence among visitors and deter future attacks.
