Condemning the recent incident of violence in strongest terms, he said that it was a challenge and ” we must not shy away from our responsibility. All out efforts are being made to nab the perpetrators of this crime and help from the public would be vitally important to catch the culprit”
The delegation, while submitting a five-point memorandum to the Governor, requested his personal intervention in removing the feeling of insecurity amongst the people especially the mediapersons. (UNI)
