Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today strongly condemned the killing of jawans of the state police and CRPF in a pre-dawn militant attack on a district police complex in south Kashmir's Pulwama.
In a statement, Mehbooba said violence of the last three decades or more has taken a heavy toll on the people of the state in terms of death and destruction, tearing apart of the social fabric, inflicting massive economic, academic and other losses besides the irreparable loss of human lives.
The chief minister paid rich tributes to the slain jawans of the two organisations and conveyed her sympathies to the bereaved families.
