According to the report, “security has been beefed up around the Uri-I and Uri-II hydro-power projects”, which are close to the LoC.

The report said that as per inputs, militants are also likely to target the emergency landing strip in Anantnag.

Another alert has been issued saying “Hizbul Mujahideen is planning to target religious leaders to create a major law and order situation in the valley”.
