Minister of State Home Affairs Hansraj Ahir, Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, Inspector General of National Security Guard (NSG) and other senior officers were also present in the meeting.
The security forces and intelligence agencies are apprehending trouble in the Kashmir Valley on Wani’s death anniversary.
Widespread protests erupted in the Kashmir valley after Burhan’s death. Kashmir Valley was placed under curfew for consecutive 53 days and it was lifted from all parts on August 31, 2016. However, the unrest continued for about five months after Burhan’s death in which over 90 people were killed.
