With Kashmir on the boil for the second consecutive day, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday reviewed the law and order situation in the state and assured full support to Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.
During a 30-minute meeting, Singh was briefed on the situation in the Kashmir Valley following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on Friday.
Since Wani’s death, violent protests have erupted in several parts of the state. On Saturday, Singh telephoned Mehbooba to assure her of Central assistance, a home ministry official said.
Following the meeting, Singh asked officials to ensure that paramilitary forces in Kashmir provide all assistance to the state government for restoration of peace and normalcy in the Valley .
