Protesters clash with police in Srinagar

Srinagar, Oct 25 : Protesters clashed with police in Jammu and Kashmir disrupting normal life in the region during the early morning hours on Saturday. They took to the street and started raising slogans against the police and blocked the highway resulting in traffic jams.

They demanded that the police should release those taken into custody after Friday's protests.

"Last evening, they took into custody a few people. Today, they have resorted to baton charge. These people are protesting against the same. Police had to resort to firing tear gas shells also. Some protesters have got injured. I don't even know whether I would get any vehicle to move out of this place or not. Security personnel are also here now," said Wilayat Hussain, a resident.
