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

The inspection drives were conducted by police teams in coordination with hospital administrations to ensure transparency and proper adherence to security protocols. The aim of the exercise was to prevent any misuse of hospital premises, curb illegal activities, and reinforce institutional discipline.

During the checking, all lockers and staff storage spaces were thoroughly inspected. Police also sensitized the medical and paramedical staff about the importance of maintaining security, reporting suspicious activity, and ensuring hospital spaces are not misused in any manner.

Police reaffirmed that such checking drives will continue in the future as part of its commitment to safeguarding public institutions and ensuring a secure environment for patients, attendants, and healthcare professionals. J&K Police has urged all hospital staff to cooperate with such measures and maintain compliance with security guidelines for the larger safety of the community.
