Kashmir hit by curfew violence
Kashmiri protesters and policemen hurl stones at each other yesterday during a protest in Srinagar, India.
Authorities brought new areas under curfew in the Indian sector of Kashmir yesterday to control the worst street violence in a year, triggered by the killing of 11 people allegedly by government forces over the past two weeks. Scores of people defied the 24-hour curfew in Srinagar, the largest city.
