Although Governor’s rule has been imposed thrice during his two terms, Vohra is said to have conveyed that imposing it again without initiating any political dialogue would serve no purpose, given the situation in the Valley. Besides the Home Minister, the Governor also held consultations with the heads of intelligence agencies, including Intelligence Bureau chief Rajiv Jain and Research and Analysis Wing chief Anil Dhasmana. A meeting between the Governor and Army chief General Bipin Rawat may also be scheduled. Vohra has been in New Delhi for the past two days and is also likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Officials said the Governor’s meeting with the Home Minister was scheduled last week and was not linked to the LoC incident.
