Over 100 activists of Punjab Shiv Sena were today detained while trying to enter Jammu and Kashmir to submit a memorandum to Governor N N Vohra in connection with security to Amarnath Yatra pilgrims.
"We have detained over 100 activists of Shiv Sena from Punjab who wanted to enter the state and proceed towards Kashmir," Additional SP Kathua, Khalil Poswal said.
