In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, family members of a missing youth during a protest in Srinagar demanded his whereabouts. Firdous Ahmad , a resident of Kupwara, went missing on 17 February this year in Ludhiana  in the Indian state of Punjab and since then his whereabouts are unknown. The family members including the mother and the sister of the missing youth staged a protest at Press Enclave in Srinagar, seeking his whereabouts.

Firdous Ahmad was working in a hotel at Indian city of Ludhiana. The hotel authorities informed them that Firdous has been untraceable since 17 February,” one of the relatives told media men, adding that the Ludhiana cops didn’t treat the situation seriously. The family members said that they went to the police station in Indian city Ludhiana several times, but the officers, they said, never paid any attention to them and did not make any attempts to find Firdous. The protesting family urged the authorities in IIOJK to take up the matter with the Punjab Police so that their missing son is traced without any further delay.
