Why did Centre moves 10K more troops to J&K?

The countdown for the removal of the controversial Article 35A in Jammu and Kashmir has started, top sources told IANS.

Two days after National Security Adviser Ajit Doval returned from a visit to the Valley, the Centre has decided to move 10,000 additional paramilitary troops there to address the likely fallout of the move on the ground, sources said.

During his three-day tour, Doval had held detailed discussions with senior officers of the state administration, police, paramilitary forces, army, state and Central intelligence agencies, they said.
