Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police RR Swain on Monday said that the war against militancy in the erstwhile state is not fully over and security forces may be suffering losses but will not back down from the fight.

The forces, he said according to news wire PTI, were trying to minimise losses. "If the challenge is to move forward even though we have to bear losses... we will not back down from that challenge,” Jammu and Kashmir's top police officer added.
