Srinagar, Jan 12 (Reporter) Hours after Peoples Democratic Party alleged lapses about the security protocols for the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti after she escaped unhurt in road accident, J&K Police on Friday said that she has an extensive and sophisticated security arrangement designed to ensure her safety at all times. Police said Mehbooba, a Z plus category protective, continues to have security arrangements very much in place. “Her security detail includes a team of 34 personnel, led by a Chief Security Officer of the rank of an Inspector. The security posse includes Personal Security Officers (PSOs) and a Close Proximity Team of specially trained personnel in close combat. It also includes protection on move to ensure her security on road journeys. She is provided double escort of eight personnel from paramilitary. Her residence at Khimber (on Srinagar outskirts) is guarded by a strong contingent of paramilitary guard personnel. Her security convoy comprises multiple vehicles, including a vehicle-mounted jammer to neutralize electronic threats,” a police spokesman said. Two persons, including a security personnel of the PDP chief, were injured on Thursday as Mehbooba had a narrow escape in a road accident at Sangam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district. Her vehicle was damaged in the accident. PDP on Friday alleged that there was an alarming delay in arranging an alternative car from Srinagar, which took an hour to materialise. The police spokesman, however, said there was a swift response post-accident by J&K Police. “An alternative vehicle was deployed within an hour. It is noteworthy that the accident happened at Bijbehara which is at a distance of approximately 50 kms from Srinagar from where the Special BP vehicle was dispatched,” he said. Senior PDP leader and former Jammu and Kashmir minister Naeem Akhtar on Friday serious security lapses were evident. "In the recent incident where Mehbooba Mufti narrowly escaped a road accident, serious security lapses were evident. The management of Local Road Clearances for X Plus protected vehicles during the incident was inadequate, posing a significant security concern," Akhtar said on X. However, police said some of the claims made by the PDP in the open media about what is part of Z+ security are not factually correct. “Ideally security arrangements of senior protected persons are not discussed in the public domain. However, it has become necessary to reassure our protectees, including party functionaries of PDP, that the security arrangements for Ms. Mufti were and continues to be very much in place,” the spokesman said. The Police said accidents unfortunately are many a times due to unforeseen factors and road behaviour of other users...////...
