New Delhi, Apr 11: Amidst the recent spurt in violence in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today met Home Minister Rajnath Singh and discussed with him the security situation in the state and how to bring back normalcy, officials said.
During the 20-minute meeting, the two leaders discussed the initiatives taken by the Centres representative Dineshwar Sharma in holding talks with a wide cross section of society.
The chief minister briefed the home minister on the prevailing law and order situation and the steps taken to restore peace in the Valley. The situation along the border with Pakistan, which often witnesses attempts of infiltrations by militants and cross border firings, also came up for discussion, the home ministry official said.
The meeting came in the wake of growing demands for a CBI probe into the gangrape in Kathua and incidents of militant violence and encounters with security forces.
They also discussed how to ameliorate the misery of the civilian population, who often face firing from across the border, and the implementation of the prime ministers development package, another official said.
There has been a spurt in the violence perpetrated by militants in the Kashmir Valley.
