APDP releases calendar documenting stories of disappeared kin

Srinagar: The Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) has come out with a 2019 calendar that documents the stories of disappeared persons.
The calendar distributed by APDP at Partap Park in Srinagar on Tuesday documents the stories of disappearances, with each month’s page carrying a photo of a person who disappeared in that month. APDP says over 8000 people have disappeared, mostly in the custody of government forces, in past three decades in Kashmir. “We will send this calendar to the universities, colleges. Students and people from outside buy these calendars. India says nothing has happened here. It hurts us deeply. If anybody has died. Their parents at least receive their bodies. Nearly three decades have passed, but there is no trace of these (disappeared) persons,” said Parveena Ahangar.
