LG Sinha said that security forces and the police have been given instructions and full freedom to track down and eliminate the perpetrators.
«The Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir were conducted successfully and peacefully. The people expressed their faith in democracy and gave a befitting reply to these forces. Naturally, our neighbouring country (Pakistan) is very disturbed and frustrated by this, and is engaging in such cowardly acts through its elements here,» Sinha told PTI in an interview at Raj Bhawan.
He reiterated that security forces have been given full freedom to act and eliminate these elements. «I want to assure the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and the country, that we will soon track down these elements and punish them severely,» he said.
Calling the incident «unfortunate,» Sinha noted that the work on the Z Morh tunnel was nearly complete. «A doctor, some employees, and labourers working there tragically lost their lives. Just as the work was nearing completion, this condemnable incident took place. The DGP, Additional DGP Law and Order, and IG reached the spot to assess the situation. I visited SKIMS hospital in the morning to check on the injured. By God's grace, everyone is stable,» he added.
