Srinagar: As four militants returned home in last few days, police in Shopian have started an initiative to reach out the families of the youth who have joined militancy for getting them to the “mainstream”.
DIG South Kashmir S P Pani, SSP Shopian Sriram Ambarkar and the Shopian Police team met almost 30 families in a bid call back their near ones.
Sources said that during the interaction police assured to the families that the doors to mainstream are open to these “misguided” youth and every care will be taken for their dignified rehabilitation if they shun the “path of violence”.
After the interaction, the DIG South Kashmir talked to every family separately and listened to them patiently. “Some of the family members turned extremely emotional and burst into tears for their loved ones being on the path of death and destruction.”(GNS)
