Srinagar
Inspector General of Police SP Pani on Monday said that over 15 boys from South Kashmir have shunned militancy from past couple of months with the active role and support of their family members.
He said police will help those youth in every possible way who want to join the mainstream. “The graph of violence has come down drastically in some of the militancy-infested areas of South Kashmir. Little by little, some restive parts of South Kashmir is limping back towards normalcy,” Pani told the news agency.
Pani said some youth join militancy due to the impact of social media or other reasons. “We are committed for the betterment of these youth and don’t want them to adopt the path of violence. Yesterday, four youth were arrested in frontier district Kupwara when they were trying to ex-filtrate. We are questioning them and hopefully after counseling, they will be rehabilitated,” he said.
