Sopore, Mar 20: The Sopore Police set an inspiring example on Wednesday as officers joined together to bury a deceased man in the town.
This incident showcases the evolving police-public relationship in the region, highlighting the positive changes that have occurred since the abrogation of Article 370.

Today, another touching incident took place when Dysp Hqrs. Sarfaraz Bashir, Dysp DAR Dr Hilal Ahmad joined shoulders to bury a 40-year-old man who was found dead near his house in the Duroo area of Sopore.

A video accessed by Kashmir Despatch shows SSP Sopore Divya-D (IPS) assuring the family that justice will be delivered if anyone involved in this crime is found, they will be dealt with strictly.
