Jammu & Kashmir LIVE Updates: On Chennai Visit, Amit Shah Reiterates Repealing Art 370 Will End Terrorism

Jammu & Kashmir LIVE Updates: The Jammu and Kashmir Police has said the situation in the state was peaceful and no untoward incident has been reported in last one week. ‘There has been no untoward incident barring minor stone-pelting which was dealt with on the spot and was nipped in the bud,’ Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh said on Saturday evening.

He was asked about the situation in the state after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told mediapersons in New Delhi that situation in J-K has deteriorated.

A news report originally published in Reuters and appeared in Dawn claims there was a protest involving 10000 people in Srinagar.

This is completely fabricated & incorrect. There have been a few stray protests in Srinagar/Baramulla and none involved a crowd of more than 20 ppl.
