Executive Summary Jammu and Kashmir experienced heavy monsoon rains that began on September 2, 2014 and lead to unprecedented widespread flooding and landslides across the state. Banks of the river Jhelum, Chenab, Tawi and many other streams were burst. The worst affected districts are Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla, Pulwama, Ganderbal, Kulgam, Budgam, Rajouri, Poonch and Reasi.

FOREWORD The Census has become an indispensable instru­ ment of policy and development planning. It need hardly be stressed that a census is not a mere counting of heads. It is a kind of stock -taking as it were, of the nation's human wealth. Census aims at presenting as complete a picture of man as may be possible in his social, cultural and economic setting. Recognising that its role is to serve the needs of the planner, policy maker, administrator and the academician, the Census Organisation from time to time. arranges discussions with the main data users and seeks guidance in planning its operations. However, for a further and more realistic appreciation of the data thrown up by the Census on various aspects of the life of the community, it has been realised that more and more erppirical studies would have to be undertaken.

Abstract: Kashmir the world famous masterpiece land encircled with mountains has been a contention of conflict between the two nuclear rivals India and Pakistan and even wars have been fought there for sorting out the Kashmir dispute. Since from the early militancy period in the State of Jammu & Kashmir which usually saw its peak during the 1989 period onwards and from that era people of kashmir have been the victims of atrocities inflicted on them. The Kashmir has been a frequent hub of mass protests followed by various categories of violence. The killing of the Hizbul Mujahideen Commander Burhan Wani on 8th July 20161 sparked a 100 plus day long turbulence in the valley of Kashmir. The protests have resulted in the loss of more than 100 youths and injuries to more than ten thousand people. The research article is aimed at studying the consequences in addition to prospects and retrospects of the Pellet Guns. Primary and Secondary sources of data were used in this research article and in addition to this Observational Method, Key Informant Interviews and Focal Group Discussions were used in exploring the research findings.
