CM urges people to counter ‘dangerous trend’ of bank loots

SRINAGAR: Amid increasing incidents of bank robberies by militants, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today urged the people to rise against this “dangerous trend” of looting public money by spilling innocent blood.

The Chief Minister made the appeal during her visit to the families of five police personnel and two Jammu and Kashmir bank guards who were killed on May 1 by militants when they were on their duty to disburse cash in Kulgam district of south Kashmir.

“People, particularly civil society and youth, are appealed to rise against this dangerous trend of looting of public money by spilling innocent blood, thereby giving Kashmir a terribly bad name in the civilized world,” she said. (AGENCIES)
