Clashes erupt in several parts of Downtown Srinagar

Srinagar, Oct 17 (UNI) The security forces on Wednesday burst tear gas shells to disperse demonstrators protesting in some areas in downtown Srinagar against the killing of three militants in an encounter in the summer capital, Srinagar.

However, when the protesting youth tried to take out protest rallies in their respective areas, security forces deployed there burst tear gas shells and resorted to lathi charge to disperse them, who were pelting stone.
The protests were still going on in some areas when the reports last came in.
