Watch: Security forces use hi-tech drone cameras to monitor base camp of Amaranth Yatra

Jammu: In view of growing threat to the annual Amarnath Yatra, the security agencies have deployed hi-tech drone cameras to monitor the base camp of Hindu pilgrims going to visit the holy Amarnath cave in Himalayas.

According to reports, the drones will hover over the entire trek round-the-clock and beam pictures back to the control rooms to ensure the safety of pilgrims.

The measure, it said, is being taken in addition to the four-ring security cover provided to the pilgrims journeying to the Amarnath cave.

From Lakhanpur onwards, the devotees will be protected by the CRPF, Jammu and Kashmir Police escorts and guards, all along the route.

The BSF will carry out joint patrols. According to top security officials, Army deployments have been ordered in high-altitude areas of the pilgrimage trek.

Watch how hi-tech drone cameras are monitoring the Amarnath Yatris.
