1993 Lal Chowk fire
The 1993 Lal Chowk fire refers to a significant incident that occurred on January 7, 1993, in Lal Chowk, a prominent commercial hub in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. This event was part of a series of violent clashes during the ongoing insurgency in the region, which had intensified in the early 1990s. The fire engulfed several commercial establishments, resulting in extensive property damage and drawing attention to the socio-political unrest in Kashmir. Amidst the chaos, allegations of involvement by various armed groups and the Indian security forces surfaced, exacerbating communal tensions. The incident not only highlighted the fragility of peace in the region but also underscored the broader implications of conflict on local economies and civilian life.
