Singh made the statement while speaking to reporters in north Kashmir's Bandipora district. "The militancy in J-K is not over, but it is ending.

Today, they have many avenues in sports and education among other options. Many youths have taken the right path and are working towards their careers, lives and families. "I am happy that the police and the security forces have brought terrorism under control to a larger extent and action is on to end the remnants of terror," he added. Answering a question on dr
