Amit Shah's visit comes amid heightened tension in J&K following the targeted killing of civilians across the region; 11 - including Muslims - have been killed this month
Union Home Minister Amit Shah landed in Jammu and Kashmir Saturday morning for a three-day visit - his first since he led the government's charge to scrap Article 370 in August two years ago.
He was received at Srinagar airport by J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.
After landing the Home Minister visited the family of J&K police officer Inspector Parvez Ahmad, who was killed by terrorists this month. Mr Shah has offered Mr Ahmad's wife a government job.
Amit Shah's visit comes amid heightened tension in J&K following the targeted killing of civilians; 11 - including Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs - have been killed this month, triggering panic among migrant workers and the Kashmiri Pandit community, some of whom have already fled.
