Stone pelting in Kashmir

Stone pelting in Kashmir refererd to stone throwing by Kashmiris on the Indian forces and Jammu and Kashmir Police deployed for crowd control in Jammu and Kashmir to support the separatist insurgents. In the local language, it was known as Kanni Jung, which means "fighting with stones", and the stone pelters were known as Sangbaaz or Pathraw Player.

However, after abrogation of Article 370 the number of stone pelting incidents dropped significantly. By 2023, stone pleting had completely stopped.
