Valley Of Fear Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Burhan Wani, the Hizbul commander
Killed in encounter
Entire Kashmir protested strongly
Slipped into turmoil
Govt. responded quickly
Imposed curfew
longest since 1990
Separatists called strike jointly
Said no exam, no education
Till K-issue resolved.

The cost became heavy
90 died
11000 injured
Several hundred became blind
By pellets and bullets.

Kashmir faced humanitarian crisis
Business shut
Educational institutions closed
Hospitals went full of injured
Tourists cancelled their bookings
Valley turned into desert
Came to a grinding halt.

They said....
Pakistan is responsible for it.
