Srinagar, July 30 (KMW): Security forces opened fire to quell stone-pelting protesters as fresh violence today erupted in the Kashmir Valley after days of relative calm, leaving two persons dead and 50 others injured.
Authorities imposed strict restrictions on the movement of people following a call by the separatists to march to Maisuma in the heart of the city in protest against the killing of youths allegedly in firing by security forces.
Muhammad Ahsan Ganai and Showkat Ahmed Wagay were killed and seven others injured when security forces allegedly opened fire on a mob at Arampora village of Sopore, 55 kms from here in Baramulla district of north Kashmir this afternoon, police said.
They said the people took to streets shortly after Friday prayers and were heading towards Sopore town when the security forces intercepted them and asked them to disperse.
