Clashes erupted between college students and police in Pulwama today as the degree college was reopened after two-day holiday.

Trouble started after some students put out posters of slain Hizbul commander Burhan Wani on the administrative block of the Pulwama degree college. Some of the students also pelted stones at police.

The students also hoisted flags of Pakistan and terror outfit Islamic State in the college premises.

Later, the students marched out the college and were joined by other stone pelters. The protesters damaged a few police vehicles.

As the clashes between stone pelters and police escalated, shopkeepers brought down the shutters of their shops. The town came to a halt for some time.

Police resorted to teargas shelling on the stone pelters. Clashes were still on in some parts.
