BRING MORTAL REMAINS BACK SOON

The slender thread which was holding the hopes of 39 families about the safety of their relatives broke today with the government confirming the worst. Although last four years have been agonising for the families of those killed, the government must expedite the process of bringing back their mortal remains so that these are consigned respectfully. The killings must shake the system and efforts should be made for finding better prospects for the youth who in the absence of proper jobs and means of livelihood in their country take the risk of working in a war-zone abroad.
