"This kind of threat has always been there. But we have our operational plans in place. We carry out deployment along with the state police and Central paramilitary forces for the (Amarnath) route and along the route, and it will be our endeavour to preclude any such incident," Singh said.
He was speaking to reporters after reviewing the Combined Graduation Parade at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal near here wherein 185 flight cadets, including 21 women, got inducted into the mainstream of Air Force.
Nearly two-month-long annual Amarnath Yatra is scheduled to begin on June 28.
Asked on the proposal to raise 'strike corps' in the North-east bordering China, Singh replied, "The case is in very advanced stages of finalisation/consideration of Government of India."
