"It (killing of policemen) is unfortunate. Time has come when we all should join hands to counter the forces inimical to peace, prosperity and development," Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh told reporters here.
Paying rich tributes to the slain policemen and praying that their families bear the loss, Singh said such incidents would not deter the government in its pursuit for peace, prosperity and development.
The Deputy Chief Minister said the government, security forces, police are making sacrifices and "the three policemen have joined the list of martyrs".
Militants today killed three policemen in separate incidents in Srinagar.
Two policemen were shot dead by militants at Zadibal while another cop was killed by the ultras in Tengpora area of the city this morning.
