"There is a need to look into it and inquire about it that what it is all about. We will ask the state government about it (at tomorrow's security review meeting) and if there is need for more inquiry or some action, it would be taken," Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta told reporters in Srinagar when asked about the CD.

He said whenever anything of this nature, which has anything to do with any possible security implications, was reported by the media, "I cannot say I have not seen it".

Gupta arrived in Srinagar to attend high level meetings to discuss the recommendations of the four working groups set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to deal with Kashmir issue. The working groups had submitted the recommendations to the Third Roundtable Conference on April 24.

Top officers from civil administration, police, army and other security agencies were present in the meeting.

Gupta said he was accompanied by officials from other central ministries to have a better understanding of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
