Exploiting youth

Kashmir Times. Dated: 10/19/2017 12:22:53 PM

Dear Editor,
I don't find words to describe the beauty of Kashmir, popularly known as paradise on earth and which is famous for its serene natural beauty throughout the world.
However, it really pains when I look at the destruction the Valley has gone through all these years. The lust of the politicians had turned this serene place into an ugly battle. Hundreds of innocent people have lost lives in the turbulence.
This sad state of affairs has been exploited by the vested interests.
The mafia, enjoying the patronage of those at the helm of affairs, has turned even the meadows into concrete jungle.
The rulers have so far remained busy exploiting the youth's sentiments for their own benefits.
The greed for money among the politicians has destroyed the beautiful land, polluted water bodies.
One really feels angry as well as frustrated to see those, involved in the land grabbing and loot of resources with impunity, talking about restoring peace in the region besides make promises to restore the glory of valley.
Sania Ahmed,
Srinagar
