Missing Youth’s Body Found in Woods After a Fortnight
Srinagar:
Body of a 33-year-old man was recovered at Cherkoot forest area of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Saturday, a fortnight after he went missing from his residence, officials said.
The man, identified as Javaid Ahmad Mir, son of Mohammad Dilawar Mir of Izgund Khumriyal Kupwara had left his residence on January 15 and did not return to his home since then.
A manhunt was launched soon even as a missing report was filed with the concerned police station on January 19, but he could not be traced until his body was found near Cherkoot, a forest area this morning, officials said.

With Kashmir’s traditional rivals in politics joining hands post 5/8 to form Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), the fault lines separating their turfs refuse to dissipate despite the leadership bonhomie. Throughout the post-partition history, the rivals have fed their followers with so much hate against each other that now political identities at ground zero defy the leadership.
There is a groundswell of support in PAGD’s favour but it is so wavering in certain areas that it can upset the calculations of top Kashmir parties. PAGD leaders admit they had not envisioned it. There are rebellions within the parties. At countless places, a PAGD candidate is in the contest against proxy candidates of the PAGD constituents.
