Mehbooba blames militants for trying to sabotage ceasefire
Srinagar, June 6 : Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday blamed militants for trying to sabotage the ceasefire announced by the central government.
The Chief Minister said in a statement that the ongoing ceasefire, to mark the holy month of Ramadan, was yielding good results but said the militants were trying to sabotage it.
Reacting to the militant attack on an Army camp in Hajin a day before Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh begins his two-day visit to assess the possibility of extending the ceasefire, Mehbooba said: "Even as we see the ceasefire bringing great relief to the people, militants seem to be continuing their violent activities and desperately trying to sabotage the process. I only hope that they realise the futility of their actions soon."
Rajnath Singh is arriving here on Thursday to assess the ongoing ceasefire and to explore the possibility of extending it during the forthcoming Amarnath Yatra.

Only escort, pilot vehicles for CM's car; people should not be blocked: Satheesan
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): One of the first decisions taken by Kerala Chief Minister-designate V D Satheesan after being picked for the post was to limit his convoy to three vehicles, in contrast to his predecessor’s large motorcade that had drawn criticism from various quarters.
According to party sources, Satheesan has directed that only a pilot and escort vehicle should accompany his official car and people on the road should not be blocked while he travels.
His decision is a major shift from the VIP culture of ministers as well as the huge motorcade of more than 10 vehicles that was seen when Pinarayi Vijayan used to travel.
Even former Kerala CM Oommen Chandy also did not have a huge motorcade like that of Vijayan.
