Union home secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla holds meet on J&K security

Union home secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Tuesday reviewed the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir in a meeting with DGP Dilbag Singh, ADG Jammu Mukesh Singh and IB chief Arvind Kumar. This comes after two low-intensity explosions were reported on May 27 in the technical area of Jammu Air Force Station.

The meeting discussed security of vital installations along the border and Pakistan cellular network active in the region. The security of prisons and political workers was also discussed as militants may try to target local leaders.

The investigation into the Jammu Air Force station attack case has revealed that drones used in carrying out the blast carried 1.5 kgs of RDX. Official sources said that either Lashkar-e-Taiba or The Resistance Front could be behind the drone attack.
