In a move that indicates that the Kashmiri youth was in favor of shunning the Pakistan-sponsored 'gun culture', a few young people tore down the posters of militants like Burhan Wani and Hizbul Mujahideen in south Kashmir. The event was caught on camera as few Kashmiri youths were photographed removing the posters of the terrorists in south Kashmir, often careful to the epicenter of terror activities in the state. 

As per the report, the posters that were brought down by the young people endangered the local police force, called out the childhood to join the militants' groups and warned the public against participating in local elections in the region. By removing the posters, the Kashmiri youth seem to be giving out the signal that they want nothing to do with Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
