Home Minister Rajnath Singh addressed a presser after conducting a security meet in Srinagar.
Speaking to the media after his meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik and officials at the CRPF's Recruit Training Centre, he said, "I've requested state governments to extend the maximum help they can lend to the bereaved families. I've given all the necessary directions to the officers. The morale has not taken a hit. We'll see this fight against terrorism to the end."
He added that as extra precaution civilian movement will be stopped for sometime when a large convoy of security forces passes through an area.
He apologised for the inconvenience it will cause to the general public.
The home minister, earlier in the day, also helped carry the coffin of a slain Central Reserve Police Force jawan after he laid a wreath on the mortal remains of the troops, who were killed in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
The nation will not forget the supreme sacrifice of our brave CRPF jawans. I have paid my last respects to the martyrs of Pulwama. The sacrifice will not go in vain, Singh said.
The dignitaries stood in silence till the coffins were loaded in a truck which went to the Srinagar airport, the official said.
