Srinagar: The memories of Chotta Bazaar Srinagar carnage, one of the most brutal massacres carried out by Indian troops in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, still haunt the Kashmiris even after the passage of over three decades.
According to Kashmir Media Service, on June 11, 1991, Indian paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel opened fire at civilians after an alleged clash with unknown attackers at Zainakadal in Srinagar city.
At least 32 people were killed, and 22 others were injured in the carnage. The victims included shopkeepers, passersby, a 75-year-old woman, and a 10-year-old child.
Even after 33 years, the memories of the Chotta Bazaar massacre remain fresh in the minds of Kashmiri people, who demand justice for the victims and an end to violence in the region.
International community must take notice of genocide of Kashmiris by India.
