Srinagar: Protests erupted in Pulwama town and Soura area of Srinagar city as the state authorities on Thursday eased curfew in phased manner across the Valley.
Reports and eyewitnesses told that groups of people this afternoon took to streets in Pulwama town when curfew was relaxed for a few hours this afternoon. Chanting pro-freedom and anti-India slogans, the people mainly youth were protesting the killing of unarmed civilians by forces.
As the protesters tried to march on the streets, forces swung into action and lobbed numerous teargas canisters to disperse the protesters. In retaliation, protesters pelted rocks and stones on the forces triggering off fierce clashes. As the clashes turned intense, authorities reimposed curfew. Several people were injured in the clashes.
