AP News Agency<\/strong> is a USA based not-for-profit news agency that runs its main headquarter in New York. Three of their photographers Dar Yasin, Mukhtar Khan (based in Kashmir), and Channi Anand (based in Jammu) won the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The three of them covered the Indian-occupied lands and captured the haunting moments of life in Kashmir during a state-sponsored lockdown. They had to ensure that the authorities did not get their hands on their images.<\/p>\n

Pulitzer board administrator Dana Canedy revealed that these photos were selected due to the ‘striking images of life’ represented in the series.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Dar Yasin revealed how he worked on the photographs during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

It was always cat-and-mouse. These things made us more determined than ever to never be silenced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AP<\/strong>‘s CEO and president Gary Pruitt says the photographer’s work was very important and utterly superb.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the team inside Kashmir, the world was able to witness a dramatic escalation of the long struggle over the region’s independence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s take a look at these pictures taken by the three photographers:<\/p>\n

These pictures are a remarkable yet heartbreaking representation of the situation that encompasses the disputed Himalayan territory. The Kashmir lockdown needs to end, and these images go a long way in showing us why. The global polity should take notice until its too late.<\/p>\n
