The Indian-controlled Kashmir has been the scene of clashes between pro-independence protesters and Indian forces over the past several days. The unrest left 33 people dead. Many more have been wounded, including those with eye injuries caused by the Indian forces’ use of pellet guns.

As Press TV’s Shahana Butt reports, New Delhi has been increasingly using the weapons despite opposition from rights bodies.
