Kupwara, Nov 20 (KNS): Peoples Democratic Party president, Mehbooba Mufti Saturday said the being the head of Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha should take the responsibility of Hyderpora encounter in which 3 civilians were killed.

According to Kashmir News Service (KNS), talking to reporters in Kupwara, Mehbooba said that LG manages the entire Jammu and Kashmir and he is not the head of the administration but also is a representative of New Delhi in Kashmir.

“Keeping that in view he should take the responsibility of Hyderpora encounter, where three innocent civilians were killed,” she added.
