Protesters defy curfew, stop train in Sopore

Srinagar, June 26 (KMW): Defying curfew, people today staged protests against the killing of two youths allegedly in CRPF firing on a mob and stopped Baramulla-Qazigund train in Sopore town of Kashmir Valley, where a separatists-sponsored bandh affected normal life in major towns. Police said no one was injured in the incident and the train suffered no damage as a result of the blockade by protesters in Sopore, 55 kms from here, in north Kashmir. Indefinite curfew was clamped in the town last evening when hundreds of people took to streets, set ablaze a security vehicle, damaged a bunker and attacked the local police station, demanding action against the CRPF personnel. Groups of people defied curfew and staged demonstrations at Hathishah Mohalla, Jamia Kadeem and Krankshivan and pelted stones on security personnel. However, there was no report of any casualty.
