HOURS before departing to Italy for attending the G-7 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday chaired a meeting with officials and reviewed the situation in Jammu and Kashmir following recent terror attacks.

The PM has directed the Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and other senior officials to ensure total safety of people and a terror-free environment. As a part of the meeting, the PM also spoke to Home Minister Amit Shah. Sources said the PM told the officials to deploy the "full spectrum of counter-terror capabilities" to check even minor terrorist activity.

The PM told officials that no chance should be left from being utilised to completely annihilate the terror tentacles across Jammu and Kashmir.
