An application dated 12/July/2013 under Jammu and Kashmir Right to Information act 2009 has been submitted by RTI activist Raman Sharma.

The application also seeks details like name, age, address of JK residents including male, female and minors who have been reported dead/injured and the steps being taken by the J & K government to trace out/find its missing citizens.
