Apprehending prolonged uprising in Kashmir Valley, the Union has reportedly started preparation for providing winter logistics to central paramilitary forces deployed in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Union Home Ministry has already approached the Army and supplying agencies to provide winter boots, socks, jackets, snow gloves and other warm clothing which would be required by around 70,000 paramilitary forces deployed in the state.
A top Home Ministry official is personally monitoring the procurement process and trying to ensure that all required items are delivered before the onset of the “harsh winter” ahead.
“We are really worried about the boys on the ground. We have to get all winter logistics well before the time as Kashmir is expected to have a harsh winter,” a senior official told a news gathering agency.
Massive civil uprising was triggered in Kashmir since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 8 which continued on 82nd straight day on Wednesday.
“We have to be prepared in case the turmoil continues for a longer period, especially during winter,” the official said.
