Pellet guns take toll on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir

Security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir say they will continue to use pellet guns against protesters.

More than a thousand people suffered permanent eye damage and many were blinded by pellet guns during protests last year.

Doctors say they have treated between 30 and 40 patients for pellet-gun injuries since the end of March this year.
