Jammu & Kashmir is in turmoil since last more than three decades and has been battling Pakistan sponsored terrorism. Besides supreme sacrifice of brave hearts of J&K Police and other security forces in combating terrorism there has been tremendous loss of civilian lives during this period. Hope wisdom dawns upon disrupters of peace by abandoning activities prejudicial to the security of common man. Let us hope this year's international day of peace brings along the much awaited peace to the Citizens of J&K who deserve it much more than most other parts of world.
