EARLY TIMES REPORT
Handwara (Kupwara), July 28: Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah Wednesday said that violence has never been answer to any problem in the past nor will it serve any purpose in future.
“When effective democratic means are available to register protests and make ones viewpoint across, there is no reason of resorting to violence and putting general public to hardships and difficulties”, he added.
“My Government is committed to facilitate dialogue between all shades of opinion in the State and the Central Government. We are positively working in this direction.

He sought wholehearted public support for the success of this stupendous task.
