Some tentsare still in evidence, but everywhere there is a huge amount of ebuilding. Commerce is thriving, teeming humanity throng thestreets, bumping and jostling into us as we squeeze past, trying to void by mown down by taxis and trucks. Tractors crawl along inthe heavy traffic hauling heavy duty trailers full of grey sand dug rom the bed of the river Jeelum. People making money. Rich andpoor making their way in different ways.

ali_adalat-5Introduction
The report is about the visit to the Earth Quake Zone in Kashmir. The visit was endorsed (though paid by the author himself) by Kashmir Youth Project (KYP) Rochdale and facilitated by Almi Pahari Adabi Sangat (APAS), Kashmiri Journalists Forum (KJF) and Kashmir Charitable Trust. This was continuation of Talat Butt from Sweden and Asad Zia from Bradford, followed by Mohammed Mushtaq’s trip from Rochdale at the earlier stages. The report is by no means an in depth research, just the author’s observations. I have wrote this for the next batch of people visiting the area to pick up on some of my experiences and make useful contributions in rebuilding the area and the effected people’s life, who had very little in the first place and lived under sixty years of continuous oppression, this oppression and neo-colonialism which somehow escaped any meaningful attention both domestically and internationally.
