BJP MLC Surinder Ambardar claimed that over 1,200 overground workers (OGWs) were helping the militants in logistics support in Jammu and Kashmir and close to 235 militants were currently active in the state.

"There are over 1,200 overground workers who are helping the militants in logistics support and close to 235 militants are active in Kashmir this time," he said here.

Ambardar said the students of the Valley have not been able to go to school for the last three months which was "very unfortunate".

"How can they go to school when miscreants are burning down schools there day in and day out. They (miscreants) want to destroy the education edifice of the Valley and even school buildings are not being spared," he said.
