"Several leaders of LeT and JeM have been eliminated and those surviving were very limited. Moreover, several militant groups have been eliminated altogether," he said.The number of active militants in the Valley has come down as strong actions were targeted on the terror support networks, he said.He said that it was good news that many militants have shunned the path of violence and have returned to their home and family and they hoped that many more would leave weapons and reunite with their families.( With inputs from IANS )
