Expressing his solidarity with the bereaved family, Omar Abdullah has said that the circumstances leading to this tragic loss of life would be thoroughly probed.

The Chief Minister has extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and said that such incidents are a matter of personal pain and grief for him and he will ensure that the matter is probed in a thorough and transparent manner.

Meanwhile, National Conference (NC) party president and candidate for the Srinagar Parliamentary seat Farooq Abdullah has expressed grief and sorrow over the incident of firing resulting in the loss of a life in Nawa Kadal this evening.

Condemning the incident, Farooq has asked the state government to conduct a transparent and time-bound probe to ascertain the truth.

Meanwhile, opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has strongly condemned the killing of a youth Waseem Ahmad of Gratbal Safakadal in the firing of security forces.
