Medical College Locker Checks Uncover Terror Links

Authorities conducted locker checks at medical institutions in Jammu after discovering a terror link involving doctors. This routine security measure follows the recovery of arms from a doctor's locker in Anantnag and aims to ensure transparency and prevent future incidents.

Security officials in Jammu have initiated thorough inspections of lockers at Government Medical College and Sri Maharaja Gulab Singh hospitals. This action follows the discovery of a significant terror module involving medical staff, leading to a heightened security state across the region.

The checks come after the recent retrieval of a cache of weapons, including an AK rifle, from a doctor's locker at GMC Anantnag, just days before a car blast near Delhi's Red Fort. These events underscored the urgent need for meticulous scrutiny of all locker holders within medical facilities.

Authorities emphasize that the inspections are a standard security protocol aimed at maintaining transparency. The practice of checking and logging locker contents is intended to deter unlawful activities within these institutions. Similar actions have been executed at Srinagar's Government Medical College and SMHS Hospital, further stressing the comprehensive nature of this security operation.
