Violent protests have defied a curfew in Kashmir for ten days since terrorist Burhan Wani's killing.
Under a strict curfew for the last 10 days, most of the streets of Kashmir bear a deserted look.
While clashes between rock-throwing crowds and security guards firing bullets, pellets and tear-gas shells have claimed 42 lives and injured over 2,100, the unrest has taken a toll on others too.
Thousands of homes in Kashmir are reeling from a shortage of essential supplies and access to medical facilities.
In Srinagar's downtown area, Feroz Ahmad is one of the victims.
With a severe infection in his amputated leg, Feroz wasn't able to get a nurse to give him a vital anti-biotic injection for days.
Feroz was injured in firing by security forces in the 2008 protests.
He couldn't even contact a doctor over the phone because mobile phone and internet services have also been suspended in the Valley.
Feroz Ahmed's family has taken a loan for his treatment.
"For four days I couldn't get a nurse for injection because Police doesn't allow anyone to cross the road and reach here," said Feroz Ahmad.
After Feroz was hit by a bullet in 2008, family is suffering the consequences. So far no one has come forward to help the poor family.
Like Feroz, many young people caught between stone and bullets have been crippled for life in the on-going unrest.
Many young boys and girls have received pellet injuries in their eyes and they may not be able to see the world again.
Due to continuous curfew and strike there is also a shortage of essential supplies in the Valley. In some areas which are less prone to trouble, some shops open during the night when people stock up.
Government offices are closed and school holidays have extended for another week.
