NEW DELHI: Stone pelting mobs and militants pose equal threat to the annual Amarnath pilgrimage that begins June 29, a senior official said today.
More than 27,000 security personnel will be deployed along the route to ensure that all goes peacefully, he said after a high-level meeting to discuss security arrangements for the pilgrimage to the high-altitude shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The meeting was chaired by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi and attended by top officials of the State and Central Governments. (AGENCIES)
