Kashmiris are running low on medicines, including insulin, amid an Indian-imposed communications blockade.

- Mushtaq Ahmad set out from his village in northern Tangmarg on Saturday for the arduous journey to India-administered Kashmir’s biggest city of Srinagar in order to find medicine for his niece who suffers from heart problems.

“I came here in an ambulance but don’t know how I’ll get back. I’m upset that I couldn’t buy her the medicine….it’s very important, she suffers from a major heart problem. “People are travelling long distances to look for medicine and we are unable to help them,” said Riyaz Ahmad, who runs a pharmacy outside the region’s largest maternity hospital, Lal Ded.

He explained that people visiting his stores from nearby villages had told him that even blood pressure medication was unavailable. The suspension of communication in the region has also meant that emergency cases could not call ambulances over the past two weeks.

Thankyou TRT for becoming voice of Kashmiris. They are under state sponsored terrorism by Hindu extremist. The world should know what is happening to them by fascist Indian Government.

So sad
