"Our team used to take immediate action on precise and pin-pointed information given to us at any time. And efforts used to be made for no collateral damage. It is a result of an effective intelligence network and good coordination, that thing have changed so much in the state," he said.

Further thanking the people of Kashmir, Vaid said "everybody in the Valley are fed up with the fear of guns, terror and violence. It has ruined everyone's life. People have realized that the soon peace returns it is better."
