The Union Government has rushed on Monday additional 800 paramilitary forces to Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of violent protests across the Valley.
The reinforcements will be in addition to 1,200 personnel which were sent to aid the state police on Saturday.
About 60 battalions (about 1,000 personnel each) are already stationed in the state as part of counter insurgency grid.
A police post in Sopore was torched by a group of protesting youth earlier in the day while an air force airport in Pulwama and other security installations in Kashmir came under attack.
