Exiled Kashmir leaders plead with UN to intervene
Kashmiri leaders are appealing to the United Nations to urgently intervene in the rising tensions over the Himalayan territory.
Tensions in the region remain high after India revoked Kashmir's special status, cutting off phone lines and television channels.
The two nuclear-armed neighbours have already fought two wars over the legitimacy of Kashmir and the area has been a source of continued tension since independence in 1947.
