Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra Kumar has expressed grief over the demise of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed.
During the condolence meeting held at Police Control Room Srinagar, senior police officials paid rich tribute to the departed leader.
Paying tributes to the late Chief Minister, Rajendra said that Mufti took keen interest in strengthening the Jammu and Kashmir Police force as Home Minister of the state, enabling it to effectively discharge its responsibility of maintaining law and order in J&K.
"On many occasions, he had expressed his desire to upgrade the Jammu and Kashmir Police by strengthening its components viz professional training, infrastructure and communication network," the DGP said.
He said that Mufti was always generous towards the police organization in creating uniformity and more promotional avenues for all ranks of the organization.
Mufti was a great leader with broad vision and had vast experience to take revolutionary decisions for leading the state towards peace and prosperity, the DGP said.
"He was a harbinger of peace and stability in the state and his passing away has created a vacuum in the hearts and minds of the people and Jammu and Kashmir Police in particular," the DGP said.
Rajendra on behalf of J&K Police expressed solidarity with the bereaved family and prayed for peace to the departed soul.
