Jammu & Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik has said that advisory issued for Amarnath yatris is only a security measure. He requested the mainstream political leaders of the state not to believe in rumours and maintain calm.

Governor late last night met a delegation of political leaders including PDP President Mehbooba Mufti, JK Peoples Movement President Dr Shah Faesal, Peoples Conference (PC) Chairman Sajjad Lone and another PC leader Imran Raza Ansari.

The delegation sought clarifications about the security advisory issued yesterday and related developments. Governor Malik informed the delegation that there were serious and credible inputs which were available to the security agencies regarding terrorist attacks on the Amarnath Yatra.

Yesterday, Army’s Corps Commander and State Police Chief at a joint press conference detailed about the seriousness of these threats.
