The Peoples Democratic Party patron, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Wednesday expressed concern 'over the escalation of tension' along the Indo-Pak border, calling for restraint and said 'the violence has already caused much damage to the state and its people'.   

In a statement, he said the 'plight of the civilian population uprooted on either side has caused a humanitarian crisis and the situation needs to be contained before it results in more damage and destruction'.
