Life in Kashmir remain in crisis as the illegal curfew and blackout imposed by the Indian authorities entered second month, today.

The occupation authorities continue to clamp curfew and snap communication services in the valley and five districts of Jammu since August 5 when Indian government revoked special status of occupied Kashmir.

The occupied territory remains cut off from the rest of the world for the past over a month now and the residents are suffering immensely due to continued severe blockade.

People are facing shortage of daily commodities and life-saving medicines. While patients, doctors and other medical staff are facing difficulties in reaching hospitals, pharmacies and medical stores that too have ran out of stocks.
