New Delhi:
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah welcomed the “full and immediate” ceasefire between India and Pakistan, which has come after two days of cross-border attacks and resultant damage to life and infrastructure.
Mr Abdullah said that if the talks had taken place earlier, many lives might have been saved. He said that it is now time for the government to assess the damage and provide relief to those affected. “It will now be ensured that those who have been injured are treated under government schemes. We also hope that the airport opens soon, so that Hajj travellers can begin their pilgrimage,” he told reporters on Saturday.
