Please continue to keep the situation and people of Kashmir in your prayers . The situation is deteriorating by the day and tensions between the the civilians and government are running high. Sixteen people , including women and a two year old boy have lost their lives so far .
The raise in violence and unrest has led to a shortage in essential commodities in the valley and people who work as daily wage labor are now finding it difficult to make ends meet .
Please also keep in mind students, who are finding it difficult to focus on their studies in this stressful environment.
Above all uphold the politicians and people involved in negotiations in your prayers , there are a lot of interests at work here who may not want a peaceful end to this current spurt in violence .
CMS has two people on the ground in Srinagar,the capital of Kashmir; one a teacher and the other a health worker .
Based on what i am reading and I understand, the situation is indeed getting serious and unfortunately the focus both in New Delhi and in Srinagar is to quell the current uprising without realizing ( willfully or otherwise ) the deep roots behind it and the disconnect between the majority of the people there and the state machinery and government.
The state police has poor training on crowd control measures which has resulted in deaths and more escalation in tensions. Yesterday the news was that the army is called in which i think has the potential to aggravate the matter. So please pray especially for the voices of reason on all sides, that they may prevail and violence may subside for now .
