NSA Ajit Doval undertakes aerial survey of Valley; Intel inputs suggest fresh terror threat from JeM terrorists
Eid-al-Adha was celebrated peacefully across Jammu and Kashmir on Monday. At least 10,000 people offered prayers at the Jama Masjid in Baramulla while many people were seen at mosques in Srinagar, Shopian, Anantnag, Budgam and Bandipore. People were seen on the streets of Srinagar greeting each other on the festive occasion. The Army also joined in to help residents in some areas connect with their friends and family outside the state.
“People came out in good numbers to pray on the occasion of Eid in Jammu And Kashmir. Prayers were conducted at prominent mosques in Srinagar and Shopian. Over 4,500 offered prayers at Eidgah Jammu,” informed the Home Ministry.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval — who has been responsible for overseeing the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir since Article 370 was revoked last Monday — undertook an aerial survey of the Valley to take stock of the situation and to ensure that no untoward incident takes place. In the last one week, Doval has been seen interacting with locals to understand their needs and views across Kashmir.
