Taliban in Afghanistan: Will there be fallout in Kashmir? Security forces are in tizzy 

While there are fears that the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan may impact the security situation in the Kashmir Valley, there are also apprehensions that this could escalate terror-related violence in the Union Territory.

In South Block, one of the top officers is tuned into a hotly discussed debate on Taliban takeover of Kabul. The worry is palpable in both North and South Blocks, the power centres which control the defence forces and internal security, both now a key focus as the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir are keenly following development in Afghanistan following capture of Kabul by Taliban. North and South Blocks are parts of the Raisina Hill Complex and flank the Rashtrapati Bhawan on either side. The South Block houses the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) while in the North Block, the top offices include the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Ministry of Finance (MoF).
