Zaroo Gun Factory houses one of the last surviving groups of gunsmiths in Kashmir Valley, struggling with the decades-long decline in sales. The factory has been manufacturing guns for generations that were majorly used for hunting purposes, or for decoration. However, the ban on hunting and the political situation over the last three decades led to a decline in sales.

The Kashmir Walla needs you, urgently. Only you can do it.
We have always come to you for help: The Kashmir Walla is battling at multiple fronts — and if you don’t act now, it would be too late. 2020 was a year like no other and we walked into it already battered. The freedom of the press in Kashmir was touching new lows as the entire population was gradually coming out of one of the longest communication blackouts in the world.
We are not a big organization. A few thousand rupees from each one of you would make a huge difference.
The Kashmir Walla plans to extensively and honestly cover — break, report, and analyze — everything that matters to you. You can help us.
