We have no words to be thankful to our security forces who are still trying to maintain calm all over the country. We feel we have failed our security forces and their trust in their fellow countrymen.

Pledging To Save The People Of Kashmir Valley
“While we have lost our comrades, it is our pledge to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially to those living in the Kashmir Valley, that we are with them always,” he said.
The Centre on Saturday also asked all states to ensure the safety and security of the students and people from Jammu and Kashmir living in their areas.
The advisory came hours after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured an all-party meeting of doing the needful for the protection of the Kashmiri students and people who were allegedly threatened after the terrorist attack in Awantipora area of Pulwama district.
An official at the security establishment said there have been some reports of students and other residents of Jammu and Kashmir experiencing threats and intimidation.
“Therefore, the Home Ministry today issued an advisory to all states/UTs to take necessary measures to ensure their safety and security,” the official said.
Some Kashmiri youths studying in Uttarakhand’s Dehradun alleged that they were harassed and have been asked by their landlords to vacate accommodations fearing attacks on their properties in the aftermath of the attack.
The CRPF, which is deployed for security duties in Jammu and Kashmir, had launched the 24×7 helpline Madadgaar (14411) in June 2017 to help any Valley resident who is in distress.
