Valley quiet,Omar makes it to function

The Chief Minister,however,did not speak at the function,nor talked to the media but left after a very brief stay.

Omar has scrupulously avoided Srinagar city for the past four months lest it provoked street anger against him.

However,with the steady improvement in the situation after Eid,Omar has found it easy to move around.

The other reason for Omar attending his first public function in the city in this summer is the drastic decline in the number of killings in the Valley after Eid. Only six persons have lost their lives or later succumbed to their injuries in the past one month.
