In a massive security build-up to strengthen anti-terrorist operations, the centre is moving 10,000 troops of the paramilitary forces to Jammu and Kashmir.
The decision to send the troops came after National Security Advisor Ajit Doval returned from a two-day visit to Kashmir valley. Sources said he met senior officers and reviewed the law and order situation in the state that's still under the President's rule.

Director General of Jammu and Kashmir police Dilbag Singh said they have already requisitioned for these troops for deployment in north Kashmir.

An order issued by the Home Ministry says the additional forces are being deployed to strengthen "counter insurgent grid" as well as maintaining law and order in Kashmir.
