# Meta restricts post on Kashmir pellet victim’s LPG agency win 2026-08-08T05:49:02+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Meta has restricted access to a The Hindu report on Kashmir pellet victim Insha Mushtaq from Instagram, citing legal requirements under India's IT Rules. The move came days after the J&K government approved an LPG dealership for Ms. Mushtaq, 10 years after pellets blinded her in 2016. Ms. Mushtaq, then a Class 8 student, was hit by dozens of pellets during protests in Shopian. She underwent multiple surgeries but lost her eyesight. On July 30, 2026, the government released Rs 41.16 lakh to complete the LPG distributorship, sanctioned in 2018. Over 6,000 civilians suffered pellet injuries that year. The Supreme Court is hearing petitions against pellet guns after recent protests at Jantar Mantar. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - thehindu.com Tags: human rights, Insha Mushtaq, Kashmir, LPG distributorship, pellet guns, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/first-female-pellet-victim-insha-mushtaq-gets-lpg-dealership/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
