With Independence Day just days away, heightened security measures were witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir.
Massive deployment of soldiers, round-the-clock security checks, and searching of vehicles were reported from Udhampur.
One of the focus areas of authorities is security at the important Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
A day earlier, the DIG of Doda-Kishtwar-Ramban Range, Sunil Gupta, had led a comprehensive security assessment.
