PM Modi reviews Kashmir crisis
Meanwhile, curfew continued for the fourth straight day in the Kashmir Valley.
The agitation has now spread to North Kashmir as well.
The Valley has been witnessing violence since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen (Hizb) commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani.
Wani, a 22-year-old commander of Kashmir's largest militant group HM, was killed along with two associates during a brief gun battle with government forces on Friday.
Authorities handed the body of Wani, viewed by locals as a hero since he joined the rebel group at the age of 15, over to his family on early Saturday morning.
