The Union government is keen to diffuse the situation in Kashmir as fast as possible and has asked the armed forced to be judicious in their task, media reported.
Curfew continued for the fourth straight day on Tuesday in the Kashmir Valley which has been witnessing violence since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen (Hizb) commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani.
The death toll in the violence between protesters and security forces has touched 29.
