SRINAGAR
A number of people, mostly youth and including a school going girl were injured in ding-dong battles between youth a police after protests broke out when the Friday congregations were over. The pitches battles were fought around the Jamia Masjid.
Protesting youth were chanting anti-government and pro-freedom slogans. Apparently, they were protesting against setting up of Sainik Colonies, a plan government earlier said was not around.
As the protesting youth marched towards main chowk of the town, police intervened. They used tear smoke shells to disperse the youth who resorted to brick-batting. Eye-witnesses said a school going girl, several cops and many civilians were injured during the clashes.
BMO Kupwara, Dr Fareed Ahmad told reporters that around 15 civilians received injuries and were treated in the hospital. No person had any seriously injury and most of them were sent home after first-aid.
