Kashmiri Pellet Victim Insha Mushtaq Receives Government Aid After Years
Insha Mushtaq, blinded by pellet guns during 2016 Kashmir unrest at age 14, has received Rs 41.16 lakh in government aid after years of delay. The LPG distributorship, sanctioned in 2018, was finalized recently amid renewed debate over pellet gun use following protests in Delhi. Despite multiple surgeries, her vision remains lost, and she advocates for banning pellet guns. Officials including Jammu and Kashmir ministers Satish Sharma and former Chief Ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti played roles in approving her rehabilitation support.
