NEW DELHI, July 6 (KUNA) -- Acute tension prevailed in Srinagar, the
capital city of India's northern state of Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday after
as many as three local residents, including a woman, were killed in police
firing, said media reports reaching New Delhi.
At least 70 people were also injured in police firing. The police resorted
to firing bullets to disperse an enraged mob protesting the death of a man
after he fell into a drain during a demonstration in the city yesterday, added
the media reports.
Following the violence and police firing, indefinite curfew was clamped in
Srinagar.
Besides Srinagar, violence also took place in various other towns of Jammu

parts of curfew-bound Anantnag district.
Kashmir has witnessed violent protests and curfew following the killing of
youths allegedly in firing by security forces last month. (end)
