The advisor to lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha, RR Bhatnagar, and army commander of Northern Command, lieutenant general Upendra Dwivedi, chaired a security review meeting in Srinagar in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis.
The security agencies are assessing the impact of an escalation in West Asia on the militancy network in the region which they claim has been tamed to a large extent and is breathing its last.
