October 31, 2016 20:25

Over 30 people, including three officers of security forces, were injured on Monday as intense clashes rocked a village in Pulwama district of south Kashmir, officials said.

The clashes erupted shortly after police assisted by Army and CRPF cordoned off Rohomu village for house-to-house searches, the officials said.

As the security forces launched the search operation, the local residents came out on the roads and started protesting, leading to clashes, the officials said.

About 30 people were injured in the clashes as security forces fired dozens of teargas shells and used pellet guns to restore law and order, they said.

Six of the pellet victims, including two girls, were brought to SMHS hospital in Srinagar for specialised treatment, the officials said.
