claiming that in 2003 about 70 women were killed by militants and in 2004 till September more than 71 had been killed. In
Rajouri Poonch Udhampur and Doda districts of Jammu militants slit the throats of 28 women. A majority of these cases
involved surrendered militants.
26 Fencing of the IB and the LoC was completed by 2006. On the LoC a ‘disputed’ boundary, fencing was fiercely resisted
by intense cross border shelling. Consequently in several sections the fence was constructed several kilometers into the
interior as in Keerni village Poonch, which left a significant portion of the village fenced out. This came to be called Barbad
Keerni. (Devastated Keerni). For details see Jamwal.
27 Cluster colonies were set up for about a dozen fenced out villages with people forced to live in their new locations setting
up temporary houses in 5 marlas of land. They were given permission to go to their fields only for set specified hours in the
day. By 2010 most villagers had gone back to their homes but the cluster colonies have not been wound up.

30 For human casualties, the compensation is a pittance. Rs 75,000 for deaths, which are rare. India uses light weight plastic
MM16 landmines which are targeted to blow off the limbs of the victims. For injuries, the government pays only Rs 5,000 –
Rs 10,000. Besides, the Locomotive Disability Act, which can ensure jobs for the physically challenged, is not applicable to
Jammu and Kashmir.
31 Medecins San Frontiers in a survey of two border districts of Kashmir in 2005 found that “Sexual violence has been routinely
perpetrated on Kashmiri women, with 11.6 per cent of the respondents saying they were victims of sexual abuse.”The
figure is much higher than that of Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka and Chechnya, said the study. Asia Watch/Physicians for Human
Rights reporting in 1993 at the peak of the Indian army’s anti-militancy campaign wrote, “There can be no doubt that the
use of rape is common and routinely goes unpunished.” (Human Rights Watch 1993)
