Speaking to reporters in Jammu after chairing a review meeting at Bhagwati Nagar, he said while specific security measures would not be disclosed to the media, the focus would remain on the safety of the yatris across Jammu and Kashmir.

“We are enhancing arrangements for the yatris, including food, lodging, bedding, air-conditioned halls, cleanliness and SIM cards. Security arrangements are our top priority and focus,” the Chief Secretary said.
