National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who has been in the Kashmir Valley after the Centre announced its decision to revoke Jammu & Kashmir’s (J&K’s) special status by doing away with Articles 370 and 35A, was today seen interacting with local residents of Shopian during a meal, and also giving a briefing to soldiers from the Indian Army.
Shopian is a district in the southern part of the Valley, which is known to be a militancy hotbed.
Here is Doval eating lunch with local residents:
In the video below, he talks to Indian Army soldiers about the importance of a capable military which has a high morale:

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
