During her 20-minute meeting with the home minister, the chief minister apprised him of the security situation in the state which has witnessed attack on security forces by militants in the last few days, a home ministry official said.

Both leaders also discussed a series of developments in the state related to Article 35A that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir, sources said.

The article empowers the state legislature to define permanent residents of the state and their privileges.

The meeting with the Home Minister comes amid reports that Jammu and Kashmir Governor N.N. Vohra, 81, is likely to resign.

In her meeting with the finance minister, Mehbooba is understood to have discussed about the implementation of the economic package of Rs 80,000 crore, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015, a state government official said.
