NSA Doval concludes Kashmir visit

SRINAGAR: NSA A K Doval today concluded his two-day vist to Jammu and Kashmir after holding a series of meetings with Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, top army and police officials during which rehabilitation and reconstruction work in the aftermath of last year’s floods figured prominently.

The National Security Advisor, sources said, is believed to have discussed the rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in the Valley due to the deluge last September that caused widespread destruction in the state.

Doval, who signed off the visit with a meeting with policemen, complimented them on being in the forefront of tackling militancy in the troubled State. No other state has faced such prolonged militancy, he said.

“We will swim and sink together,” he told the men and officers, assuring them of continued support from the Centre.

Doval, who was on his maiden trip to the State after taking over as NSA, held separate meetings with Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh and Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu.

The NSA also held separate meetings with Lt Gen Subrata Saha, Corps Commander of 15 Corp, Director General of Police K Rajendra, Inspector General (Kashmir Range) S J M Gilani and IG (CID) A G Mir.

There was no official word on what transpired in any of these meetings. (AGENCIES)
