Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today directed officials to taking strong legal action against miscreants irrespective of their religious or political affiliations.
She, however, asked law enforcing agencies "to be extra-cautious in dealing with the situation in Jammu region which has a mixed population".
She chaired a high-level four-hour-long meeting convened here to review the law-and-order situation and development projects in Jammu region.
Incidents of temple desecration and subsequent law and order were also discussed.
The Jammu administration has ordered detention of a man under Public Safety Act (PSA) in connection with the sacrilegious act at Aap Shamboo Temple in Janipur on June 14. The city had witnessed violence and arson over that incident.
On June 16, another man entered a temple in the Nanak Nagar area and tried to vandalise it triggering violent protests here.
