Srinagar: BJP leader Arun Jaitley, who had planned to lead a party team to Kishtwar in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir, found his plans foiled as authorities did not allow him to proceed after he landed at the Jammu airport on Sunday morning. He has been requested to return, an official said.
Meanwhile, curfew had been extended to Kathua, Samba, Udhampur, Reasi and Katra towns of the state.
