This has been widely appreciated by the people all over the country, including J&K, and has brought relief to the common citizens.

Security Forces are now being directed to take all necessary actions as earlier to prevent terrorists from launching attacks and indulging in violence and killings. The government stated that itwill continue with its endeavour to create an environment free of terror and violence in Jammu & Kashmir. “It is important that all sections of peace loving people come together to isolate the terrorists and motivate those who have been misguided to return to the path of peace,” the statement urged the citizens in Jammu and Kashmir.
