Bhaderwah (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], April 2 : The Indian Army, Special Operations Group (SOG), and local police have intensified security measures on Thursday to ensure a safe experience for tourists visiting the Bhaderwah Valley following recent snowfall.

After fresh snow in the upper reaches of the scenic Bhaderwah Valley, tourists from different parts of the country have started thronging the region to witness and enjoy the snow-covered landscapes.

Fool-proof security arrangements have been established across all major tourist destinations, including Guldanda and other upper reaches of Bhaderwah. Personnel of the Indian Army, Special Operations Group (SOG), and Jammu and Kashmir Police have been strategically deployed at key points, conducting regular patrols, monitoring movement, and ensuring smooth traffic regulation to facilitate hassle-free tourism.

Security agencies have intensified surveillance to maintain peace and prevent any untoward incident, creating a secure environment for visitors. Checkpoints, mobile patrolling units, and assistance teams have been placed to guide tourists and respond quickly to any emergency situation.

The strong coordination among security forces has not only ensured safety but also created a unique atmosphere where tourism and security move hand in hand. A visible sense of patriotism filled the air as several tourists arriving to enjoy the snow were seen saluting the Indian Army and SOG jawans, acknowledging their dedication towards safeguarding the region.

"We came from Delhi to experience live snow, and the arrangements here are excellent. Seeing Army and Police personnel around makes us feel completely safe," said a tourist from Delhi.

Visitors described Bhaderwah as not only a breathtaking tourist destination but also a secure and welcoming place where natural beauty and patriotism blend, making their visit truly special.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, fresh snowfall at Guldanda in the picturesque Bhaderwah Valley of Doda district attracted thousands of tourists from across India, turning the high-altitude meadow into a bustling winter destination.

Tourists were seen gleefully playing in the snow, couples strolling and enjoying the serene beauty, friends and families capturing memories with photographs, and groups dancing and celebrating amid the white expanse.

The snowfall, which blanketed the region and transformed the valley into a winter wonderland, has added to Bhaderwah's appeal as a tourism hotspot.
