After 8 Months Interrupted Education Resumes In Kashmir

Schools in Kashmir have opened finally after a gap of eight long months. The death of Burhan Wani in June and the subsequent unrest had forced the schools to shut, creating a huge hurdle for the education of Kashmir's 15 lakh students. During the unrest near 100 people mostly teenage students were killed and over 12,000 were injured. While situation improved in December, schools were subsequently closed for the mandatory winter vacations.
