Jammu and Kashmir Police chief S P Vaid today urged the families of militants in the Valley to appeal to their sons to leave the path and promised all possible assistance, including rehabilitation for those who leave militant ranks.

“Today once again I urge to the families to appeal to their boys who have taken the wrong path to leave the path of violence & (and) come home,” the DGP wrote on Twitter.

He said the Jammu and Kashmir police will provide all possible assistance to those who shun the path of violence and return to mainstream.

“It is highly unfortunate & painful to see loss of life. @JmuKmrPolice promises to provide all possible assistance including rehabilitation (sic),” Vaid said.
