“Really worrying situation” – Kashmir violence turns deadly
A 19-year-old male has been shot dead in the Kashmir region, in what his family has called “cold-blooded murder” by Indian forces
The killing makes it the 12th civilian death this month in the region either by rebel fighters or security forces.
Authorities have stated that the teenager was caught up in “cross-firing” – a term used by police to describe a gun battle between Indian forces and rebels.
The young man was identified as Shahid Ahmad Rather, a college student, who also worked as an apple-picking labourer.
ticker NEWS spoke with Journalist Aakash Hassan who is on the ground as the violence continues.
Hassan described the escalating violence as “worrying” – stating that the violence is only surging within the region.
Reports state the family of 19-year-old Rather has not been given the body yet.
India’s Amit Shah visits Kashmir amid rising violence
In an attempt to address the disgruntlement of Kashmiri’s youth with New Delhi, India’s Home Minister Amit Shah made a visit to the region, stating that he came to extend a hand of “friendship” to the young people.
Mr Shah is on his first visit to the disputed region after architecting the nullification of Indian-administered Kashmir’s semi-autonomous status under the Indian Constitution on August 5, 2019, which was followed by a crippling communication and military lockdown for months.
The three-day visit of India’s interior minister comes in the backdrop of the deteriorating security situation in the region.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
