Jammu: Kashmir’s Inspector General of Police (IGP) Vijay Kumar and General Officer Commanding of Army's Kilo Force, Sanjiv Singh Slaria chaired a joint meeting of security officers in Bandipora on Saturday in the aftermath of Friday’s terror attack that killed two policemen in the district.

Jammu and Kashmir DGP Dilbagh Singh and Kashmir IG Vijay Kumar visited the residence of constable Muhammad Sultan Dar who was shot dead by terrorists on Friday in the Sopore area of Baramulla. "Police have received some initial clues and are working on it," the DGP said.

The terrorists had fired upon police party of Police Station Bandipora near Gulshan Chowk area of Bandipora in which Selection Grade Constable Mohd Sultan and Constable Fayaz Ahmad received critical gunshot injuries.

"Both the injured were shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment of their injuries. However, both of them succumbed to their injuries and attained martyrdom," the police said.

The police have registered a case under relevant sections of law.

Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah on Saturday slammed the government and said if the police personnel are not safe in the Union Territory, a common man could not be safe either.

"It's sad. The government says everything is hunky-dory. When police personnel aren't safe, how is a common man?" Farooq Abdullah told reporters.

Asked whether India should initiate talks with Pakistan, he said that there was no way out other than holding talks with Islamabad.

"You have to talk. There is no way out. China has occupied our territory, they have made their own houses. Does the Government of India allow discussion in the Parliament to understand what the Chinese are doing?" he said.

Earlier on Friday, a wreath-laying ceremony was held in Bandipora evening for two slain policemen.
