Security forces burst teargas shells to disperse protesters who defied restrictions and took to the streets in the north Kashmir district of Bandipora to demonstrate against the killing of civilians in the last 46 days in the valley.
Raising ‘pro-freedom’ and ‘anti-forces’ slogans, hundreds of protesters hit the streets at Kaloosa in Bandipora to protest against the killings of 67 civilians in security force firing since July 9, a day after the Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) commander Burhan Wani and two other militants were killed in an encounter in Anantnag.(UNI)
