Qazigund, Mar 29: In a major boost to improve security, Kulgam Police have installed cutting-edge surveillance technology—including wall radar and thermal screening systems—at Nayvug Tunnel on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway at Qazigund area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
The newly deployed systems are capable of detecting hidden contraband such as drugs, weapons, and other illegal materials inside vehicles.

He said, “This advanced technology is a force multiplier in our mission to secure the region. Our goal is to ensure the safety of commuters while maintaining peace and order along the stretch.”
On the occasion, the top-ranking officers including DIG South Kashmir Range, Commander 1 Sector Rashtriya Rifles, SSP Kulgam and others visited the site to oversee the operational readiness of the newly installed systems.
