Additional 100 troops of paramilitary forces airlifted to Srinagar ahead of Supreme Court hearing on Article 35A

Nearly hundred additional companies of paramilitary forces were sent by the Centre to Jammu and Kashmir. The development comes amid a major crackdown on separatists in Jammu and Kashmir late on Friday, which also resulted in the arrest of separatist leader Yasin Malik. Following a notice by the Home Ministry, 100 additional companies of paramilitary soldiers were airlifted to Srinagar, where their deployment plan for the next few days was being worked upon.
