ISLAMABAD Despite unprecedented security arrangements in the federalcapital, a number of banners supporting India’s Kashmir decision appearedsurreptitiously on different roads on Tuesday.

The IGP asked police to include officials of DMA in the investigation.Under the municipal laws, permission of DMA is necessary for display ofbanners in the city.
