Weavan: Lost in oblivion<br />
Weavan is a small village, 22 kms from Bandipora<br />
town, in North Kashmir. Surrounded<br />
by mountains. One has to walk on foot<br />
for about three hours to reach the hamlet.<br />
The valley remains cut off from Bandipora<br />
town for at least six months during winter<br />
season. The local people store provisions<br />
for the winter. Horses are used to carry<br />
goods from Bandipora to Weavan. The village<br />
lacks basic facilities like electricity,<br />
healthcare, roads and water.<br />
