25,000 more troops being deployed in J&K

An additional 25,000 security personnel were ordered to be moved to J&K on Thursday, days after Governor Satya Pal Malik said “all was normal”, fuelling a fresh wave of speculation in the State.

According to police sources, a fresh order was directed to security personnel to “work on a build-up at the district levels across the State.” According to The Hindu Sources said 25,000 personnel, in addition to the 10,000 troops, were being inducted and split between the Jammu and Kashmir regions.

According to the Hindu, the meeting of the regional parties was necessitated by the sudden force build-up. Following the development, residents in Srinagar and other places have started panic-buying of essentials.
