Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said in a tweet that appropriate action would be taken in a time bound manner after the submission of the report.

The encounter took place on Monday, in which four people, including a foreign terrorist, a local terrorist and two people, were killed, police said, adding that two of the four were overground workers of terrorist groups.
