Srinagar, June 27

In the wake of the deadly Pampore attack, the J&K Government today said it would review the entire security structure in the state.

“The state government is reviewing the entire security scenario on how to respond to such attacks which is their (militants’) new strategy,” Minister for Education Naeem Akhter told the Legislative Council. “These attacks  first happened at one or two places in Anantnag and now at Pampore, so the state is reviewing the entire security structure,” he added.

The minister also termed the spurt in attacks as a cause for concern.

As soon as proceedings of the Upper House began, the BJP legislators urged the government to declare Pakistan a terrorist state and condemn the Pampore attack.
