The Zakura And Tengpora Massacre was the killing of protesters calling for the implementation of a United Nations resolution regarding the plebiscite in Kashmir at Zakura Crossing and Tengpora Bypass Road in Srinagar on 1 March 1990,[1] in which 26 people were killed and 14 injured by Indian forces.[2] It led Amnesty International to issue an appeal for urgent action on Kashmir.[3]
