Authorities in Kashmir on Friday continued the ongoing inspection drive, checking lockers of doctors and medical staff across hospitals in the Ganderbal and Kupwara districts under the enhanced security measures, officials said.

In line with the ongoing efforts to strengthen security and "maintain a safe and accountable environment within healthcare institutions", police in Ganderbal carried out a surprise checking of lockers belonging to doctors and staff members at various hospitals across the central Kashmir district, they said.

The aim of the exercise was to prevent any misuse of hospital premises, curb illegal activities, and reinforce institutional discipline, they added.

The exercise is part of broader measures after the recent blast in Delhi and recovery of arms and ammunition in the ‘white collar terror module.'
