Four Injured In Clashes In J And K, Shutdown In Srinagar

At least four persons were injured on Tuesday in clashes between protestors and security forces in Kashmir where a complete shutdown was observed in Srinagar and some other parts. The clashes broke out on a day when a delegation of 23 European Union MPs arrived here for a first-hand assessment of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir following revocation of the state’s special status under Article 370. Police officials said clashes broke out at several places in Kashmir including many parts of the city between protestors and security forces, resulting in injuries to four persons. The clashes were going on in many places in the city and some other places in the valley when reports last came in. Normal life remained disrupted in Kashmir for the 86th day following the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.
