Clashes in Kashmir continue despite curfew Unrest follows public anger over the killing of four villagers in the disputed region by government troops. Last Modified: 21 Jul 2013 04:21 Protesters have clashed with government troops in several parts of Indian-administered Kashmir for the second straight day, defying a curfew imposed to restrain public anger over the killing of four villagers in the disputed region. Police officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Saturday that the protesters threw rocks, and that police and paramilitary forces used batons, tear gas and fired warning shots of live ammunition to control the crowds. Five protesters and two police officers were injured in the clashes. At least 50 people were injured in similar clashes on Friday. "Restrictions on the movement of people will be there for at least three days until the strike is over," Ashok Prasad, the director-general of police, told CNS, a local news agency, late on Friday.
