Scores of civilians were injured during fresh clashes that broke out across Kashmir on Sunday as violence, curfew and strike continued unabated for the 72nd consecutive day in a row.
Reports said that dozens of people were injured after the police tried to foil a protest-rally in the Damhal Hanjipora area of south Kashmir's Kulgam district. The army was also called in to control the protests, which were going on throughout the day.
Reports of similar protests were also received from north Kashmir's Bandipora and central Kashmir's Ganderbal districts in which several people were injured.
The separatist leaders in their weekly 'protest calendar' had called for a march to Bandipora, Ganderbal and Shopian. A police officer said that curfew was imposed in Shopian while restrictions on the movement of people had been placed in Bandipora, Ganderbal and the rest of the Valley. He said that apart from a few stone-pelting incidents in Kulgam, Kupwara and Awantipora, the overall situation remained under control across the Valley.
The officer claimed that there was an increased vehicular movement on city roads as well as between various districts and towns. He said that continuing their drive against the trouble-mongers involved in damaging civilian vehicles, shops, houses and placing obstructions on roads and lanes, the police arrested 56 miscreants so far.
The Kashmir Valley has been going through violent street protests, strike and curfew for the last 72 days. Meanwhile, broadband services were restored on Saturday night after journalists protested against what they called a communication "gag."However, mobile internet, post and pre-paid mobile services, barring BSNL, still remain suspended.
