Srinagar, Sep 13 (PTI) With widespread violence claiming

while staging protests against the incident.
The state cabinet meeting chaired by Chief minister Omar
Abdullah Monday evening took stock of incidents of law and

alleged acts as reported by an international news channel.
The spokesman said the cabinet also expressed its
understanding of the genuinely hurt sentiments of the people
