Constable Mudasir Ahmad was injured in the attack on a police station in Kulgam district.
A policeman, injured in the attack on a police station in Kulgam district on July 15, on Sunday succumbed at a hospital here, taking the death toll in the ongoing unrest in Kashmir to 46.
Constable Mudasir Ahmad became the second policeman to die in the violent clashes that erupted in the Valley following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter on July 8.
On July 15, a mob pelted stones at police station Yaripora in Kulgam. During the stone pelting, suspected militants hurled a grenade at the police station, resulting in injuries to six cops including Ahmad.
Meanwhile, the main opposition National Conference asked the Centre to initiate a sustained dialogue with Pakistan as well as separatists groups in Jammu and Kashmir for evolving a consensus for a mutually acceptable solution to the political issue.
The party also said it would be a travesty to treat the current unrest in the Valley as a mere law and order problem.
This was conveyed to Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who is here since yesterday to review the situation, by a delegation of National Conference (NC), led by former Chief Minister and its working President Omar Abdullah.
In a memorandum to the Home Minister, the NC expressed deep disappointment at the Centre's failure to recognise the problem in Kashmir "as a political problem which requires political engagement both internally and externally."
While it was "palpable and shocking" to see the continued failure of the state government in dealing with the situation, "it would be a travesty to simplify the current unrest in the Valley as a pure law and order issue," the party said.
