Kashmir Zone police had tweeted:On Sunday, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the ceasefire announced by the government during Ramzan - meant to help people observe the holy month in peace -- will not be extended. The security forces, he said, were directed to resume anti-terror operations. "It was expected that everyone will cooperate in ensuring the success of this initiative. While the Security Forces have displayed exemplary restraint during this period, the terrorists have continued with their attacks, on civilians and SFs, resulting in deaths and injuries."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
