Ahead of a crucial cabinet meet on Monday to be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a high-level meet on the Kashmir turmoil in his office in Parliament on Sunday.
Sources said the next 24 hours will be crucial as there may be some clarity in regard to Jammu and Kashmir. However, no agenda was circulated for the cabinet meeting in advance. Sources have said that the agenda would be tabled at the time of meeting scheduled at 9:30 am at PM's residence.
National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba, IB chief Arvind Kumar and RAW chief Samanta Goel attended the meeting chaired by Amit Shah. Later, Amit Shah also met Additional Secretary, Kashmir Division separately.
According to the sources, the home minister discussed internal security in Jammu and Kashmir. The officials in the home ministry have, however, remained tight-lipped about it.
Amit Shah is expected to visit the Kashmir Valley post the Parliament session for three days for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) membership drive. He will spend two days in Jammu.
So far, over 35,000 parliamentary troops have already been deployed in the state in the last week, with Rapid Action Force (RAF) being pressed into service in communally sensitive districts of Kishtawar, Bhadarwah and Poonch. A communal flare-up is not ruled out hence, a strict vigil has been kept in the sensitive areas.
On Friday, the J&K government, in an unprecedented order, asked the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims and the tourists to immediately curtail their stay in the Valley and return as soon as possible, citing intelligence inputs of terror threats.

After the Jammu and Kashmir administration curtailed the Amarnath Yatra and asked pilgrims and tourists to leave the valley at the earliest on Friday, anxious residents continue to throng markets to stock on essentials and serpentine queues have been visible outside shops and fuel stations.
Kashmir remained on edge on Sunday as authorities stepped up security deployment at vital installations and sensitive areas amid heightened terror threat and the flare-up of hostilities with Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC).
After the Jammu and Kashmir administration curtailed the Amarnath Yatra and asked pilgrims and tourists to leave the valley at the earliest on Friday, anxious residents continue to throng markets to stock on essentials and serpentine queues have been visible outside shops and fuel stations.
The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) has asked around 100 cricketers, including India Team all-rounder Irfan Pathan, to leave Kashmir in view of the prevailing situation. Various educational institutions also directed their students to vacate hostels.
Additional paramilitary forces, which arrived here last week, have been deployed across the city and in other vulnerable areas of Kashmir Valley, the officials said.
The strength of the security personnel has been increased around vital installations such as the civil secretariat, police headquarters, airport and various central government establishments in the city, they said.
Barricades have been erected on many arterial roads, including the entry and exit points to Srinagar, the summer capital of the state.
Riot control vehicles have also been kept on standby in some areas where apprehension of law and order disturbances is more, the officials added.
In Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting with top security officials on Sunday and is believed to have discussed the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
The hour-long meeting was attended by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba and other senior officials.

The meeting came amidst fresh skirmishes between security forces of India and Pakistan along the border with the Army foiling an attack by BAT on a forward post along the Line of Control (LoC) in Keran sector, killing five to seven intruders.
The Indian Army has asked its Pakistani counterparts to approach them by raising white flags and take possession of bodies which are lying on the Indian side of the LoC.
The BAT generally comprises special forces personnel of the Pakistani Army and terrorists.
A civilian woman was killed in cross-LoC shelling in Gurez sector of Kashmir last week, while ceasefire violations by Pakistan were reported from several other areas of Kashmir close to the LoC.
Jammu and Kashmir Governor S P Malik has dismissed speculations that the Centre might be planning to do away with Article 35A of the Constitution, which gives exclusive rights to the state's residents in government jobs and land.
Political parties in J-K had expressed apprehensions about such action after the Centre deployed additional troops and curtailed the Amarnath Yatra.
The National Conference (NC) held a meeting of its Political Affairs Committee (PAC) where they expressed concern over the "uncertain and uptight" situation in Jammu and Kashmir. A spokesman said the party would fight any infringement upon the special constitutional position of the state. PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has called an all-party meeting at her residence on Sunday evening to discuss the situation.
Malik has urged political delegations led by National Conference leader Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba to tell their supporters to maintain calm and not to believe "exaggerated rumours" being circulated in the Valley.
