Srinagar, June 4 (IBNS) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday laid wreath on the mortal remains of the three BSF personnel killed in a militant attack near Bijbehara on Friday.

Mehbooba, expressed solidarity with the Director General BSF, K K Sharma, who was present there and also expressed solidarity with the families of the deceased BSF personnel and prayed for peace to the departed souls.

Three BSF personnel namely Head Constable G K Shukla of 1022 RT Regiment, Head Constable Dinesh Giri of 1022 RT Regiment and Constable Mahinder Ram of 64 Battalion were killed while six others were injured in the attack.

Recalling the sacrifices of the security forces in combating militancy in the state, Mehbooba said such dastardly acts of senseless violence are against the basic tenets of humanity and they should be condemned by one and all.

"My heart goes out to the families of the slain BSF personnel and I hope that the perpetrators will be taken to task soon," she said.

The Chief Minister said such attacks are attempts by vested interests to derail the peace and reconciliation process started by the state government in Jammu and Kashmir which will also impact the economy at a time when the tourism activity had started picking up in the state.
