Sumir Kaul Srinagar, July 10: The army, which was deployed in certain parts of Srinagar four days ago to assist the civil administration, may be withdrawn from the streets early next week, according to Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
He told PTI the state government was using the army in the “extreme periphery” and not not more than six or eight columns of the army were used so far.
“So far they came out only on two days. The army did not not come out yesterday. We deployed them twice. The first day we deployed them a little more than the second day. On the second day we deployed them near airport and on the foreshore road,” he said.
