After inaugurating the Mela, Mufti Sayeed paid floral tributes to the police slain cops who laid down their lives, while safeguarding the people and maintaining law-and-order in the state. “The fair aims at generating resources for welfare of the families of the slain personnel of J&K Police, in particular focusing upon free education and scholarship of their children,” an official statement said this afternoon.

The Chief Minister also went around a few of the colourful stalls and appreciated the quality of products on display from all the three regions of the state.

As many as 35 stalls have been set up by Police Establishment Centres in the Mela, which has been organized by Jammu & Kashmir Police Wives Welfare Association (JKPWWA).  Besides the stalls, a game zone for entertainment of children has also been set up in the Mela.
