According to a press release issued here, Ghulam Hassan Mir, along with a group of senior party leaders including Raja Manzoor, Noor Mohammad Sheikh, Haji Parvez, Jeelani Kumar, Javaid Ibrahim, and others, visited the residence of the martyred DySP Muhammad Hamayun Muzammil Bhat in Humhama, Budgam, to express solidarity with the grieving family. Earlier, in the morning, the Senior Party leaders including Zaffar Iqbal Manhas, Rafi Ahmad Mir, Mohammad Ashraf Mir, Junaid Azim Mattu, Farooq Andrabi, and others, also paid a condolence visit to the bereaved family.

“The leaders met with Ghulam Hassan Bhat, a former Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the father of the late martyr Hamayun Muzammil Bhat and other family members, and extended their deepest condolences.”

On this occasion, Ghulam Hassan Mir strongly condemned the terrorist act that resulted in the martyrdom of three brave officers in Kokernag.
