The hoarding showcasing a trooper outside Hazratbal Mosque and having the text in written in Hindi, praising the role of para-military troopers in violence hit Kashmir. Bunker culture picked up in the Kashmir after insurgency broke out in the region in 1989. Initially troops erected sandbagged bunkers, however, of late construction of concrete bunkers was carried out by the troops across the valley. The bunkers have resulted in shrinking the open space in Srinagar and other parts of valley.
