In the wake of Delhi blast and as part of heightened preventive security measures across the region, police in coordination with the hospital administration on Wednesday conducted a thorough inspection of staff and doctors lockers at hospitals in Kulgam and Shopian districts.

A police spokesman said the lockers of doctors and staff were inspected at District Hospital Shopian and Community Health Centre Zainapora.
“The drive was aimed at identifying unclaimed, unattended or unidentified lockers within the hospital premises to ensure that no space or facility is left vulnerable to misuse under the prevailing security situation,” he said.
During the inspection, all lockers were checked and verified. Lockers found unclaimed, improperly labeled or without valid ownership were documented for necessary follow-up action.
J&K police along with medical officers of the health department also conducted checking of lockers used by doctors and staff in various health institutions across the district Kulgam.
The inspection drive was carried out to prevent any possible misuse of lockers for storage of unauthorized items and to strengthen internal security measures within medical facilities.
During the checking, all racks and lockers were thoroughly examined, and staff were briefed to maintain proper records and ensure that the lockers are used strictly for official and legitimate purposes only.
Police has said such inspections will continue as part of routine vigilance to maintain a safe and secure environment in hospitals.
The lockers of doctors were searched after some doctors were found involved in a major terror module and the subsequent car blast near the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10, and the recovery of arms and ammunition, including an AK rifle, from the locker of a doctor at GMC Anantnag on November 8.
