J&K: 3 Photographers Win Pulitzer for Coverage of Life After Dilution of Article 370

-TheWire.in

Dar Yasin, Mukhtar Khan and Channi Anand have expressed joy and said that they never expected the prize.

New Delhi: Photographers Dar Yasin, Mukhtar Khan and Channi Anand, based in Jammu and Kashmir, have been awarded this year’s prestigious Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. The Pulitzer citation said the award was for “striking images of life” by the photographers in what it called “the contested territory of Kashmir” in the aftermath of the August 5, 2019 revocation of its special constitutional status,  “executed through a communications blackout.”

Yasin and Khan are based in Srinagar while Anand is based in Jammu. All three work with the Associated Press, a news agency. AP executive editor Sally Buzbee said that the Kashmir prize was “a testament to the skill, bravery, ingenuity and teamwork of Dar, Mukhtar, Channi and their colleagues”.

All three have expressed joy and said that they never expected the prize. “Though I knew that there’s a Pulitzer Prize, I never dreamt that one day I would be honoured with it. I am speechless,” Anand told Hindustan Times.
