Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra has said, the vicious cycle of ongoing violence in Kashmir has caused enough death and destruction and must cease forthwith.
In his address on the eve of 70th Independence Day last evening, Mr Vohra called upon leaders of all mainstream political parties in the State to initiate dialogue and pursue sustained political initiative in Jammu and Kashmir with the support of New Delhi, which has already been ensured.
Taking on Pakistan, the Governor voiced concern over significant increase in the attempts of cross-LoC infiltration to perpetrate terrorism and create chaos in Jammu and Kashmir. In view of this, he said, it was necessary for security forces to remain on high alert on the borders.
