Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reached Srinagar on Wednesday to begin his 2 day visit to Jammu and Kashmir during which he is slated to hold a high-level meeting in Srinagar and pay obeisance at the holy cave shrine of Amarnath.

Earlier today, Rajnath Singh took to Twitter and wrote, “Heading to Srinagar on a two day visit to Jammu and Kashmir. During this visit the security situation of the state will be reviewed. Shall also perform darshan at the holy cave of Shri Amarnathji.”


Rajnath Singh will start his day on Thursday by visiting the Amarnath cave shrine, to which a 60-day annual pilgrimage commenced on June 28 and will continue till August 26.

Later on Thursday, he is scheduled to chair a high-level security review meeting where top army brass, officials of the Jammu and Kashmir government and police, central paramilitary forces and intelligence agencies will be present.

The minister will also hold political discussions with Governor N.N. Vohra.

According to reports, Rajnath Singh is accompanied by Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba and other ministry officials dealing with Jammu and Kashmir related matters.

It is Rajnath Singh’s first visit to the Valley after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s decision to end its alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party led to the fall of the Mehbooba Mufti-led coalition government and imposition of Governor’s rule in the state.
