JAMMU: In view of the recent disturbances and turmoil in the Kashmir Valley and repeatedly attempts of miscreants to disturb the communal harmony in Jammu, a new party was today launched here, promising to be a “popular alternative” to maintain peace and brotherhood in the Jammu and Kashmir State.
Jammu Province People Forum (JPPF), an amalgam of more than 60 social, commercial and other organisations and a united voice of Dogras, on Thursday decided to constitute a peace mission namely Jammu Province Peace Council (JPPC) to avert any such untoward incident and to maintain peace and harmony in the province.
