Tamana Ashiq, 11, has lost vision in her left eye that was pierced by pellets fired by security forces in her locality on July 10. As per the family of the victim, doctors have told them that there are some chances that Tamana may regain vision but it will take time.

Recalling the fateful day Tamana said that she was playing in the lawns of her house alongside the road without knowing that some protests are going outside. Suddenly a police party chasing a group of protesters passed through the area.
“The policemen fired pellets on the protesters and a pellet hit my left eye and nose after which I fell unconscious and only regained it in the hospital,” says Tamana. “I am not able to see anything with my left eye.”
“There is not much improvement in the eyesight. Doctors have asked us to wait and have put her on medicines for some one month before they take a decision on operating upon the injured eye again for the third time,” mother of the victim told Greater Kashmir. She said that everyone in the family is worried and hope and pray that she should be alright.
She said that Tamana didn’t show any signs of improvement at SMHS Hospital during her early treatment there and later she was taken to Amritsar where she was operated upon twice that cost about Rs 1.5 lakh. “No one either from government or any other helped us.”
