| More than 45,000 people have been killed in the 17-year-old separatist revolt in Jammu and Kashmir. The isolates from New Delhi were collected between March 1997 and March 1998, from Ahmedabad between November 1996 and July 1997, from Ranchi between February and March 1999, from Chandigarh in September 1997, from Bangalore in November 1996, from Jammu between May and July 2001, from Jaipur in May 2001, from Agra in May 2001, and from Varanasi between June and November 1999. During the 1980s India built a 600-kilometre-long double fence (more than five times longer than the Berlin Wall and almost as long as the planned 644-kilometre Israel Wall), running from the Chenab River near Jammu to the edge of Rajasthan, some of it electrified, with searchlights on watch towers. |
