Efforts to restore peace must continue: Ch Hamid

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 5: Undeterred by the outcome of visit of All Party Delegation (APD) headed by Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh to Kashmir valley, the efforts initiated to end stalemate and restore peace in Jammu and Kashmir State must continue.
Continuing with its efforts to dawn peace in the State for which incumbent Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is leaving no stone unturned, both State as well as Central Government must ensure honourable and dignified life to people to win their hearts.
This was stated by  People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former member J&K State Advisory Board for Gujjars and Bakerwals, Abdul Hamid Choudhary. He  added that  restoration of  peace must be made a continuous process for which late Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed too, had done his best. He while ensuring transparency in the system of governance had strongly advocated a dialogue with all stake holders, be it anyone on either sides of the border.
The Valley has suffered a huge loss in terms of lives and finances. While lost lives are irreparable losses, this unrest must end.  The way Coalition Government is continuing with its efforts to restore peace, Centre too, must keep adding to it and act like a catalyst to boost peace process. There is no alternative to a meaningful dialogue, the PDP leader said.
He said State has  suffered a lot and time has come to end this stalemate and restore peace in the Valley so as to pave a way for dignified life for commoners.
