In an emergent meeting held under the Chairmanship of its Vice President Chander Mohan Sharma, the Bar Association Jammu strongly condemned the inhuman and cowardly act of militants at Samba.
While paying rich tributes to the noble departed souls, BAJ expressed condolence and observed two minutes silence in memory of the departed ones.
