New Delhi: 

The union government is leaving no stone unturned to make Amarnath Yatra foolproof. Apart from massive deployment of personnel and radio frequency identification tags on the vehicles, the government has come up with a special motorcycle squad as part of its security arrangements. The squad will have Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel who will escort batches of pilgrims to Jammu base camp.

The squad will have a camera mounted on the helmets to record every activity. The two-wheelers will help them respond quickly to any attack or mishap. It will also carry first aid items for immediate treatment.
