Curfew grips IHK following killings

SRINAGAR: The Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) was gripped by curfew on Saturday, two days after security forces shot dead four demonstrators, triggering widespread protests across the Muslim-majority region.

The security forces fired Thursday on demonstrators protesting against the desecration of the holy Quran by Indian troopers during a search operation. Some 37 people were also injured. Indian authorities subsequently imposed a curfew on the main areas of the Kashmir valley. afp
