J&K Chief Minister on Wednesday appealed to the people of the Valley to maintain peace. Mehbooba's appeal comes at a time when the valley is boiling over protest against the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani.
The death toll in the clashes between protesters and security forces in Kashmir crossed 30, while normal life remained paralysed due to curfew-like restrictions and separatists-sponsored strike .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday chaired a high-level meeting in Delhi where he appealed to maintain peace and calm in the valley.
"The Prime Minister has hoped for peace and appealed that innocent lives are not disturbed," Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh told the media after the meeting.
