 "Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi briefs Rajnath Singh on Kashmir situation")
Home Minister Rajnath Singh was on Wednesday, briefed on the ground situation in Jammu and Kashmir by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, who visited the troubled state in the wake of the Uri terror attack.
Mehrishi conveyed to the Home Minister his assessment on the prevailing situation in the Valley as well as border areas after his interaction with Governor N N Vohra, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and civil, police and intelligence officials.
The Union Home Secretary visited Srinagar on Tuesday, after the terror attack in Uri in which 18 soldiers were killed.
