Officials said the joint operations, conducted in coordination with medical officers from the Health Department, are designed to prevent the misuse of lockers for storing unauthorised or suspicious items. The inspections also aim to reinforce internal security and ensure the integrity of hospital operations.

During the drive, police teams, accompanied by health officials, checked racks and lockers across various hospitals to ensure compliance with institutional regulations. Staff members were reminded to maintain proper inventory records and to use lockers strictly for official and legitimate purposes.

The exercise follows the discovery of a “white-collar terrorist module” in the Valley, which led to the arrest of several doctors and the recovery of arms and ammunition from Dr. Adeel's locker at GMC Anantnag. In response, police across all districts have intensified inspections in healthcare facilities to prevent similar misuse.

Authorities described the campaign as part of an ongoing preventive measure to ensure that hospitals remain safe zones, free from any elements that could threaten public or national security.
