Srinagar:
Twenty-five people, including securitymen and protestors, were
injured across the valley Friday in clashes between security
forces and stone-pelting mobs Friday, taking the total number of
injured in clashes during the week to over 227.
About 104 vehicles were also damaged in the clashes over the past
few days, police said here Friday.
An ambulance was also damaged by a mob in Pattan town of Baramulla
district Friday.
Curfew was imposed in Srinagar city and all other major towns of
the valley to prevent breach of law and order by unruly mobs.
In a press statement, police said: "During the past few days in
tackling the situation, 192 people including 109 policemen and 73
CRPF personnel were injured."
The statement added that "103 vehicles, including 18 civilian and
two tourists vehicles were damaged by miscreants in stone pelting
at various places in South Kashmir, districts of Anantnag, Pulwama,
Awantipora, Kulgam and Shopian. They include 35 police vehicles,
45 CRPF vehicles and three government vehicles.
A court complex at Dooru (Anantnag) and the government resthouse
there was also damaged. Windowpanes and two desktop computers of a
private company at Semthan, a hotel in Pulwama and an animal
husbandry department building in Shopian were also damagaed.
The valley has been on the boil March 5 when a 24-year youth was
killed allegedly in firing by security forces in Baramulla town.
The state police has lodged an FIR against security forces
believed to be involved in the firing. The FIR also names a
colonel of a counter-insurgency unit.
The army has also started a court of inquiry (COI) into the
incident. The COI headed by a brigadier has reportedly asked the
state police to provide it names of people who might have been
present at the firing spot.
Meanwhile, the family of the slain youth has declined to accept
the ex-gratia cash relief announced by the state government.
Sajad Ahmad Sofi, brother of the dead youth, told reporters that
the family wants those responsible for the killing to be brought
to justice.
