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 />
