Amid the ongoing unrest in Kashmir, Commander of the Army's Srinagar-based Corps Lt Gen S K Dua today met Governor N N Vohra here and briefed him about the situation in the valley.

Lt Gen Dua called on Vohra at Raj Bhavan and briefed him about the internal and external security situation and the Army's preparedness to deal with any arising exigency, an official spokesman said.

Kashmir valley is on the boil since July 9 in the wake of the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces. So far 65 people, including two policemen, have died and several thousand others have been injured in the unrest.

The meeting comes a day after Army foiled a major infiltration bid in Uri sector of north Kashmir's Baramulla district, killing five militants.
