Southern Kashmirâs Tral in Pulwama district has for long retained several dubious distinctions in the past 31 years of armed insurgency in the Valley.
This was the crucible from where Burhan Wani to Zakir Musa, and scores of top-notch militants emerged. Wanis death in an encounter in July 2016 led to a four-month-long street turbulence in which over 70 demonstrators and arsonists got killed and thousands, civilians as well as security forces personnel, sustained injuries.
Dadsara, a village in Tral, is said to have created the maximum number of militants among all villages and towns across the valley. It was because of the people of Dadsara and other villages that a two-lakh strong procession gathered to form Waniâs funeral procession. Four years later, Dadsara is singing to a different tune.
