Pertinently, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has also set up a helpline ‘Madadgar’ to offer help to the militants if they want to return.

We will provide all help. They will not be harassed,” CRPF Inspector General (IG), Operations, Kashmir, Zulfiqar Hassan told reporters during a joint press conference by Army, police and CRFP in Srinagar on Saturday.
