Jammu and Kahsmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti here on Monday expressed a deep concern over the burning of schools in the Kashmir valley and termed it 'unfortunate'.
'The govt has already taken into custody some miscreants who burned schools. I hope there should be some good news for us in next one week,' she said on the sidelines of the opening of Civil Secretariat in Jammu

Over 30 schools have been burnt in various parts of the Valley during the past four months of civil unrest.

Commenting on the ceasefire violations on the border with Pakistan, the Chief Minister said: 'Neighbours cannot be changed and both India and Pakistan have to live together. My hope is the shelling on the borders would stop and the ceasefire restored.'

Mehbooba also inspected a guard of honour in the heavily-guarded Civil Secretariat building in the heart of Jammu city..
