The 20th anniversary of the devastating earthquake of October 8, 2005, will be observed on Wednesday. This earthquake occurred around 8 AM on the third day of Ramadan, which plunged the land of Jammu and Kashmir into permanent mourning. Thousands of Kashmiris, including the great freedom fighter Gul Nawaz Butt, were martyred. Property worth billions was destroyed and countless people were buried under the rubble.
