During states of emergency, the armed forces will temporarily take the lead in security operations and internal control, in close coordination with the national police, until state authority is fully restored and those territories are returned to the citizens.
Abdul Rashid Wanni was a timber trader who was stopped near his home in the city of Srinagar, the capital of Indian-administered Kashmir, in 1997.
That evening, his wife and his two children were waiting for him to return home.
They were supposed to go to a wedding reception, but he never came back.
At the time, Kashmir, as today, was a heavily contested territory.
Both India and Pakistan officially claim all of Kashmir.
and it's divided between the two of them.
In 1989, after failed political struggles for self-determination, rebel groups began an armed struggle.
They sought Kashmir's independence or its merger with Pakistan.
That's when people started to disappear.
The police and army took them on suspicion that they were involved in the separatist movement.
Now, after years of searching for Abdul, a judge in Indian-administered Kashmir has finally declared what the family had already suspected, that Abdul Rashid Wanni is dead.
The judgment ordered a death certificate to be issued.
It also acknowledged that a police probe had identified the army officer who took Wanni into custody.
It records the date of Wanni's death as the same day that he vanished, but it gives no information to where his body lies.
Today, the rebellion has been largely crushed, but at least half a million soldiers remain in the Indian part of Kashmir.
The authorities there claim that many of the disappeared were killed in armed clashes but could not be identified.
The thousands of families of the missing are not sure they'll ever find out what happened to their loved ones or whether anyone will be prosecuted for their disappearance.
And this work is now putting a big question mark on the longevity of my business.
I hope so, but with the lack of, what can I say, proper planning, proper leadership, I don't think it will be ready.
