Srinagar, Oct 07 (KNS): Director General of Police, Dilbag Singh on Thursday said that the civilian Killings in the Valley are only aimed to create communal tensions in Jammu and Kashmir and damage the age-old communal ethos here.

As per Kashmir News Service (KNS) correspondent, DGP while talking to reporters in Eidgah, where two government teachers were shot dead, said that it is a plan designed to defy the unity of the people of J&K and such inhumane acts of violence are display of brutality and cowardice.

He said that the killing of innocent people, who are working socially for the welfare of the people are being targeted, are aimed to create divide and to create an environment of fear among the masses.
