<br/>The Jammu and Kashmir Government is contemplating to put in place a more concrete mechanism to check inflow of foreign funds to protestors in the state. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said this in New Delhi this morning after his meeting with Home Minister P Chidambaram.<br/><br/>He said money for protesters is coming through various channels in Jammu and Kashmir. The chief minister said he had a detailed discussion with the Home Minister about the prevailing situation in the state and the steps being taken to improve it. They discussed how to give better equipment to paramilitary forces and J&K Police so that they can control the crowd in better ways so that no incident takes place and no one dies.<br/><br/>Asked about the Opposition's allegation that he was losing control over the Government, Omar said there was no point talking about such things now since the Government had given the Opposition a chance to express their views at the all-party meeting, which they boycotted. The Chief Minister said the situation in the valley was tense but gradually improving.<br/><br/>Asked about the deployment of the Army, he said the Army was deployed after the state government and various agencies assessed the situation and the report given to them.
