SRINAGAR: Ahead of the forthcoming Amarnath Yatra, the Facial Recognition System (FRS) deployed by District Police Anantnag at Langanbal Naka detected an Over-Ground Worker (OGW) on Thursday at approximately 1700 hrs.
The individual, a resident of Seer Hamdan (Police Station Mattan jurisdiction) with a prior FIR registered in 2005, was working as a carpenter. He was subsequently handed over to Police Station Pahalgam for further legal action, a police spokesman said.
This swift interception highlights the impact of technology-driven policing and aims to send a clear deterrent message to miscreants as Amarnath Yatra approaches, the statement reads.
District Police Anantnag has enhanced electronic surveillance along all yatra access corridors to ensure a safe and seamless pilgrimage experience. (KNO)
