Jammu, April 21 (IANS) The leaders of Jammu and Kashmir's ruling PDP-BJP coalition on Friday discussed the prevailing situation in the valley which has been on the boil since the Srinagar Lok Sabha by-poll earlier this month.
The meeting was held at the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) headquarters in Jammu.
