As many as 28,000 troops of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) are being deployed in Kashmir Valley, in addition to the 10,000 troops which were deployed there last week.

Verbal orders were issued to the security forces in wake of the leaks of 'troop movement', causing anxiety in Jammu and Kashmir.

Over 281 companies of paramilitary forces have been received in Kashmir Valley in the last four days, a top official told India Today.

A top source said the deployment was to guard against the "possible" protests about a decision or event of the government. The forces have been put on high alert.
