SRINAGAR: Amid the rising security situation in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be visiting the state for three days after the Parliamentary session. The Home Minister will also participate in BJP's program in Kashmir as well as oversee preparations for the assembly elections. Earlier in the day, Amit Shah had conducted a high-level meeting with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and other officials in view of the security situation in the valley.
Reports further said that a cabinet meeting has been called on Monday at 9:30 AM, although its agenda has not yet been known. Security has been tightened in Jammu and Kashmir ever since the Indian army foiled Pakistan's Border Action Team (BAT) attempt to infiltrate into Keran sector of J&K. In view of the security concerns, the government on Friday had asked Amarnath Yatra pilgrims and tourists to return to their native places amid intelligence inputs of a possible terror attack to disrupt the Amarnath Yatra.
