"Movement of convoys by road for logistical and operational reasons has been and will continue to be necessary. Reports appeared in a section of the media that air transit facility in the Jammu- Srinagar sector for CRPF troops has not been allowed. In the Jammu and Kashmir sector, air courier service for transportation of jawans of Central Armed Paramilitary Forces (CAPFs) is already in operation for quite some time. "Apart from traffic control, there will be changes in the timings of convoy, their halt locations and movement in coordination with other security forces like the Army and the J-K police," he told the news agency. A senior official, however, said there was no "specific input" and such an attack was completely new for the security forces in the Valley.
