45 mountain rescue teams deployed for Amarnath yatra this year
Authorities have deployed 45 specialized mountain rescue teams along the Amarnath Yatra routes to ensure pilgrim safety. These teams are trained in high-altitude rescue and disaster management to mitigate risks from weather and security threats.
Why it matters
Enhanced safety measures are crucial for large-scale religious pilgrimages in high-risk, mountainous terrain.
Against the backdrop of the terror attack in 2025 in Pahalgam , which is on the main yatra route, and in the wake of militants shifting to jungle warfare in Kashmir, 45 specialised mountain rescue teams will be deployed at 21 locations along the arduous twin routes of the Amarnath Yatra this year.
The report focuses on logistical and security preparations for a public event, citing official sources.
