The government is required to be more vigilant and more firm in dealing with the new wave terrorism as the battle against the terrorism is at the last phase and it has to be won at all cost and contingencies, he said.
Chief Spokesperson further said that the members of the minority community who are working in Kashmir in employment or otherwise should be provided all security in order to ensure their safety.
Wherever needed they should be kept in safe and secure zones and the administration should make all efforts to identify the vulnerable people serving in Kashmir valley and to take concern of their safety & security and priority, he said adding that the administration and the agencies should identify the person who are involved in this increase in militancy and they should be dealt with stun.
