Srinagar, June 30: Police have installed facial recognition systems (FRS) along the Pahalgam route of the Amarnath Yatra to deter any potential terror attacks against pilgrims.
The system has a feature that alerts security forces in real-time in case any blacklisted person comes into the field of view of the surveillance cameras.
