Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh arrived in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir to review the security situation of the state, here on Thursday.  He arrived with a high-level delegation of government officials. Singh is being accompanied by Union Home Secretary, Rajiv Gauba, Joint Secretary Jammu and Kashmir, Gyanesh Kumar and Minister of State for Prime Minister's Office, Jitendra Singh. The two-day visit comes in the midst of multiple issues causing turmoil in the state majorly due to ceasefire violation, terrorist infiltration, attacks on security personnel in the month of Ramadan. The Rajnath-led delegation will also be inspecting security arrangements in lieu of the Amarnath Yatra. Kashmir Inspector General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Ravideep Singh Shahi said the visit of the Home Minister is extremly important for the state at the moment, adding that adequate security arrangements have been made for the visit. "The visit of Home Minister is very important for us and we, in coordination with the Jammu and Kashmir Police, have made elaborate security arrangements. Our jawans will be on the ground, patrolling the area. Apart from that, all the important ingress points to Srinagar will have deployments," Shahi told reports. Last month, 19 CRPF personnel were injured after their vehicle skidded off the road due to stone pelting in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar. -PTC News
