One person was killed and
100 others were injured, two of them with bullet wounds, as
protests continued for the fourth consecutive day over the
Amarnath land transfer issue. Normal life was paralysed across
the Kashmir valley. Demonstrators indulged in stone pelting
and disrupted traffic on the roads forcing the police and the
CRPF to lathicharge and lob teargas shells to disperse the
agitating crowd.
