A heartbreaking video from the Neelum sector of the Line of Control in Pakistan-administered Kashmir is rapidly going viral on social media, which has once again reminded us of the human tragedy.
The video shows a scene that seems to be the collective story of not just one family but the entire Kashmir.
According to sources, the funeral of a young man is being carried out in Indian-administered Kashmir, while his sister stands helplessly on the other side of the river, in Pakistani-administered Kashmir. She can watch her brother’s funeral, but she remains there, yearning for the last sight.
The Line of Control, which is apparently a geographical boundary, has actually become a wall between thousands of families that has divided relationships, emotions and human ties.
The line flowing in the middle of the Neelum River has separated not only the land but also hearts.
This incident once again raises the question of whether there is any place for humanity in the midst of border disputes?
Experts say that such incidents raise serious questions about the claims of international human rights. International and local human rights organizations should take a clear stand on such humanitarian issues and raise their voices for the affected families.
They further say that land disputes have their place, but human beings must have the fundamental right to meet each other, share their sorrows and attend funerals.
This incident reflects the fact that uncertainty, sadness and anxiety in Kashmir are not just words but a daily reality. Here, every flowing river, every silent mountain and every deserted road tells the story of broken relationships.
This video is not just a scene, but a question: have borders become more important than people?
