Curfew in India-held Kashmir as killings heighten tensions |
2015-06-20 |
[DAWN] India-held Kashmire was largely under curfew on Friday with top separatist leaders detained to halt a planned protest march over a series of recent killings in the restive territory. Hundreds of police and paramilitary soldiers patrolled the main city of Srinagar and schools and shops were closed, while there were similar restrictions in other towns in the Kashmire Valley, coppers and residents said. "No one will be allowed to take part in any protest march anywhere," a top police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity. |
