Kashmir: Violence rages even as all-party panel arrives

September 04, 2016 10:54

Even as the all-party delegation arrived in Srinagar on Sunday, violence continues unabated in the Valley even as curfew-like restrictions continued.

Protesters on Sunday set the under-construction building of the mini secretariat in Shopian on fire.

A youth was on Saturday killed in clashes between protesters and security forces in Qazigund area of South Kashmir taking the death toll in the ongoing unrest to 71 even as curfew continued in parts of Srinagar in view of the separatists call for occupying Lal Chowk and Airport Road in Srinagar.

The separatists have extended the shutdown programme till September 8.

Two police personnel are among those killed while several thousand others have been injured in the clashes between protesters and security forces in the Valley since Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter in south Kashmir on July 8.
