As perpetrators of the violence will eventuallybe exposed in the course of investigation the immediate need is to restore peace, he said and appealed to all concerned to stop blocking national highway amid the crisis as the highways are the lifelines for the state and its people.
Continuing such activities will only create further tension, he said.
The common people do not want violencebut to live in peace.
Both communities involved in the con-flict reacted impulsively in the heat of the moment but it is time to rethink and showcase humanity to restore peace while keeping aside the differences, emotions and sentiments, he said.
