JAMMU, June 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to seek an assessment from the army about the possibilities of Kashmir valley facing threat from Al-Qaeda and other terrorists from across the Line of Control (LOC).
According to sources, Modi is likely to seek detailed account from the army and other security agencies about the credibility of reports about Al-Qaeda planning to operate in Kashmir valley. Sources said that Modi is scheduled to arrive in the state on July 4 for inaugurating the rail link between Udhampur and Katra and he plans to utilize his trip on reviewing the entire security scenario with top Army authorities.
Sources said that the Prime Minister would hold a three-hour long extensive security review with senior officials at the headquarters of the Army's 15 Corps in Srinagar on July 4. "Free flow" of foreign funds through NGOs and Hawala channels to sustain insurgency and the separatist movement in Kashmir, a purported al-Qaeda threat to extend its base to the valley around the withdrawal of the American troops from Afghanistan, fresh spurt of the Jihadist attacks in Pakistan, ceasefire violations and infiltration of militants through LoC and International Border besides the proposed upgradation of border fencing would be key issues at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first security review in Jammu and Kashmir on July 4.
According to these sources, the BJP led NDA government will frame new measures for combating menace of terror from across the border. Reports said that after the BJP led Government has decided to send additional 10,000 troops to those districts in 10 states where Maoists have been playing havoc.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has ruled the possibility of holding talks with Maoists and instead the centre would upgrade the security grid in 180 districts in 10 states which have been affected by Maoists triggered violence. But reports said that the centre may hold talks with those separatists in Kashmir who oppose gun culture and violence. |
