SRINAGAR: A
protester was killed during clangs with government forces Saturday in
Indian-administered Kashmir hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited
the disputed region, police said.
“The boy was injured in clashes with security forces and died on way to
hospital,” Javaid Gillani, inspector general of the police, told AFP.
The day was stained with minor clashes; however, the conflict intensified
soon after Modi’s rally was over and restrictions were eased.
Protestors opposed to Indian rule of the territory had called for a march
to counter Modi’s rally but authorities imposed a near-lockdown to frustrate
it.
