The discussions took place in the third week of August at Kandahar and news agency ANI was reportedly informed of the same by senior officials from the intelligence agencies.

Forecasting further movement of terrorists across the Line of Control (LoC), the intelligence agencies have put the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on alert.
