The CM said nobody should make a statement like that as it is likely to create panic among the tourists and the Yatris who have been thronging the Valley in appreciable numbers this year. Significantly, the CM also said if the situation was actually alarming then it needed to be found out who was actually responsible for allowing such a fresh deterioration in the overall security in the State.
