NEW DELHI: Ahead of the first anniversary of the killing of terrorist Burhan Wani, the home ministry has said it was prepared to handle any security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir.
Official sources said the Centre has already sent over 20,500 central paramilitary personnel to the State in the wake of Wani’s first death anniversary and the ongoing Amarnath yatra.
“We are prepared to handle any security challenge,” a senior home ministry official said today.
Four districts of the State–Pulwama, Kulgam, Shopian and Anantnag–are on the boil since Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces on July 8 last year. (AGENCIES)
