Srinagar: Justice continues to elude the victim families of the gory Thune-Kangan massacre for the past 35 years, whose near and dear ones lost their lives at the hands of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in Thune-Kangan area of Ganderbal district on this day in 1990 in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, fifteen people, including Eng. Tariqul Islam, Ghulam Muhammad Wani, Farooq Ahmed Lone, Parvaiz Ahmed, and the driver and conductor of the passenger bus, were martyred while a dozen others were injured when the bus in which they were travelling was fired upon and burnt by the Indian BSF personnel. The victim families are still awaiting justice while the perpetrators of this heinous crime continue their state terrorism under the black law, Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), in the territory.<\/p>\n
An eyewitness of the gruesome massacre told KMS that the marauding BSF personnel opened fire on the passenger bus when they were travelling from Sunamag to Kangan in the evening on this day in 1990. \u201cThe Indian Border Security Force personnel stopped the bus and fired upon us without any rhyme or reason at the Thune area of Kangan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that some passengers managed to save themselves by escaping under the cover of darkness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
