00:00Let's turn to tonight's ground report.
00:02In the middle of a raging West Asia conflict,
00:04an emotional wave is rising in one corner of the country.
00:08In Kashmir's Shia majority belt,
00:10solidarity with Iran is turning into action.
00:13Donations are pouring in from cash to gold,
00:16even household heirlooms.
00:18Take a look at this report.
00:32A wave of sympathy for Iran is sweeping Kashmir.
00:47Just days after Eid,
00:49Shia majority areas across the valley
00:51have turned into hubs of relief collection.
00:56Volunteers are going door to door,
00:58gathering not just cash but gold, silver
01:00and even traditional copper utensils.
01:04Around me, you're seeing the kind of donation,
01:07the outpouring of love
01:08that people have shown towards Iran.
01:10Be it money, be it gold, valuables,
01:13copper utensils, cars.
01:15Even people have donated their livestock
01:19like cows, goats for the cause.
01:22Now people know that the kind of damage,
01:25massive damage Iran has suffered.
01:27This is quite little.
01:29I mean, this may not impact much,
01:31but it is about showing of support.
01:35It is about symbolism.
01:36It's about showing solidarity with the people.
01:39The movement is not isolated.
01:42It's widespread.
01:43Across towns and villages,
01:45people are contributing,
01:46turning personal belongings
01:48into symbols of solidarity.
01:51This is not something for me.
01:52This is not something for me.
01:53If there are other things,
01:54then I'm prepared to donate them for the same time.
01:57This is not the most important for me.
02:00For me, it's only important for me.
02:03Overall family, we have donated my family.
02:06We are one of the joint family.
02:08We are one of the joint family.
02:08So, I can say gold,
02:10pieces, rings and bali.
02:19Even the youngest are joining in quietly,
02:22but powerfully.
02:37The Iranian embassy in India has acknowledged
02:39this outpouring,
02:41sharing images of donations
02:42and calling it a gesture
02:44they will never forget.
