JAMMU, Jan 17: In view of inputs that Pakistan-based militant outfits would try to disrupt Republic Day celebrations by attacking ‘soft targets’ in Jammu and Kashmir, Governor N N Vohra has called for a meeting of the Unified Headquarters here on Monday morning.
“In a meeting held to review the security scenario in the State, Mr Vohra has directed that a meeting of the Unified Headquarters (UHQ) be convened on Monday,” official sources said.
Top brass of Army, para-military forces, Jammu and Kashmir Police, Intelligence agencies, both Central and State and civil administration would attend the meeting and brief the Governor about steps taken to maintain security arrangements in general and during Republic Day in particular.
Lt General K H Singh, General Officer Commanding of the 16 Corps of the Army, had recently warned that Pakistan-backed militant outfits might try to attack ‘soft targets’ in Jammu and Kashmir ahead of US President Barack Obama’s India visit later this month.
