January in Kashmir often brings quiet remembrance for families who lost loved ones to violence on this very date across different years.
On January 4, 1996, Ghulam Nabi Kuttay from Cheermarg, Shopian, was shot dead by terrorists in Babapora a sudden end to an everyday life.
Five years later, on January 4, 2001, Mohammad Yousuf Ganie of Ramnagri, Shopian, was gunned down near his home by terrorists, leaving his family shattered.
In 2003, on January 4, Shabir Ahmad Mochi from Sogam, Kupwara, was killed in the local market by terrorists a routine day turned tragic forever.
And on January 4, 2004, Mst. Zarma from Rajouri Mandi was shot in Singaloo, adding another layer to the enduring pain.
Different places, different years, but the same lingering grief in homes that once held ordinary routines. These stories remind us of lives interrupted, and the human cost that time doesn’t fully heal.
