New Delhi, Aug 4 (DNS) The Centre today rushed Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta and Defence Secretary Vijay Singh to violence-hit Jammu, which continued to be tense over the Amarnath land row that claimed two more lives today।
During their visit, Gupta and Singh interacted with officials of the Jammu and Kashmir government and Army and took on the spot assessment of the volatile situation in the state which is witnessing unrest over the land controversy, sources said।
The decision to send two top officials came after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil to his residence late last night upon his return from Colombo।
Patil also convened a meeting at his residence today during which the government reviewed the situation in the sensitive border state, currently under Governor's rule।
The steps being taken by the local authorities also figured in the meeting which also decided to provide all assistant required by the state government.
