Srinagar: National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday sought the intervention of Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha in handing over the bodies of two civilians killed in the Hyderpora encounter.
The bodies were buried by police in Handwara area of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district to “avoid any law and order problems”.

“He also sought the LG’s intervention in handing over the bodies to their kin,” the party said.
