17 killed, 70 injured in fresh violence in Kashmir
LDALL KASHMIR
Srinagar, Sep 13 (PTI) In a sudden flare-up of violence
in Kashmir Monday, 17 people, including a policeman, were
killed and over 70 injured with mobs torching several
government properties and a school, some of the trouble
triggered by a TV report alleging desecration of the Quran in
the US.
The state cabinet, which met this evening, condemned the
alleged act of desecration and made a fervent appeal to the
people not to take law in their own hands.
In New Delhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh voiced
concern over the ongoing unrest in the northernmost Indian
state of Jammu and Kashmir. He also sought to reach out to the
people in the state, saying their grievances have to be
addressed and promised talks within the Indian Constitution
with those who abjure violence.
Five persons were killed and more than 20 injured in
firing by security forces at Tangmarg, 45km from Srinagar, in
Baramulla district after protesters went on a rampage setting
ablaze a private school, run by a minority educational group,
following the report of desecration.
Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda said 41 persons
were seriously injured and they included 2 SPs one of whom was
airlifted from Bandipora to Srinagar.
He said a mob torched a Block Development Office, court
chamber, tehsildar's official vehicle and residence, social
welfare office, patwari office and two huts of tourism
department.
The agitators then attacked a police station and tried
to ransack it, prompting the security forces to fire at them.
While two youths Muddasir Ahmad Parray and Abdul Majid
were declared dead at the nearby Magam Sub District Hospital,
another youth succumbed to injuries at a city hospital here.
He has been identified as Abdul Qayoom, officials at the
hospitals said. (more) PTI MIJ
