SRINAGAR: Ahead of the Amarnath Yatra, a slew of top-tier security arrangements have been made, including the deployment of hi-tech gadgetry along the routes leading to the south Kashmir cave shrine, officials said on Monday.

For the first time, facial recognition systems (FRS) have been installed at strategic locations on both the Pahalgam and Baltal routes of Amarnath Yatra, and the installation of the technology has already yielded results with the arrest of two overground workers (OGWs) of terrorist organisations on June 19.

The FRS, which has been fed the images of active terrorists and suspected OGWs, alerts security forces on a real-time basis in case any blacklisted person comes into the frame of the surveillance cameras.
