AFTER A relatively peaceful week in Kashmir, the situation heated up again following the death of four people during clashes with security forces in the Valley. Curfew has been imposed in parts of Kashmir to prevent further violence and protests. Throughout the city, motorcycle borne youth were seen shouting slogans. Sources said that the victims had been sitting in a group on the roadside when clashes broke out between the security men and the protesters, forcing the Special Operations Group (SOG) and paramilitary forces to fire. A victim, Feroz Ahmad Malik breathed his last while he was being taken to the hospital. Six others who were injured have been admitted to a nearby hospital and are undergoing treatment. Thousands of villagers were seen gathering in the streets with the bodies of the victims on Srinagar-Muzaffarabad highway and they demanded investigation. As per witnesses, the government forces opened fire on the surcharged marchers after futile bids to break them up with cane charges and tear gas.
