Top security officials are learnt to have made a presentation on the incident and the overall security situation in the state.

Meanwhile, experts of “anti-terror commando force” the National Security Guard (NSG) and investigators of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) left for Jammu and Kashmir on Friday to join the probe into the attack in Pulwama in which at least 44 CRPF personnel were killed, officials said.

The decision to send the teams was taken in view of the high number of casualties in the worst terror strike in the state since the Uri attack in 2016.
