Tehsildar hospitalised after shopkeeper 'mistakenly' sells him battery acid instead of mineral water in Kulgam
[Daily Excelsior] Tehsildar Damhal Hanjipora in south Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....

#3 The tehsildar is sick
