Srinagar, July 9 (IBNS): Breaking her silence over the cycle of violence in Kashmir since Saturday morning, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on expressed deep grief and agony over the death of youths during protests in the state.

“I express profound grief over the tragic death of the youths and extend my heart-felt condolences to the bereaved family members in their hour of immense grief,” an official spokesman quoted her as saying.

Mehbooba said disproportionate use of force for crowd control resulted in loss of precious lives and grave injuries which should be avoided at all costs.

She asked the police and the paramilitary forces to use Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) while dealing with protesters to avoid loss of precious human lives or injuries.

Urging for calm, Mehbooba sought people’s cooperation in restoration of normalcy in the Valley.

“Violence only brings miseries to the people and tragedies for the victim families,” she said and
appealed people, especially the youth not to fall prey to the machinations of the vested interests, who play politics over the dead bodies of Kashmiris.

Srinagar July 9 (IBNS): At least eight people have been killed during clashes on Saturday in Jammu and Kashmir, a day after Hizbul commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani was killed by security forces.

Clashes have left 200 others injured, reports said.

Police stations and minority camps have also come under attack, a senior officer was quoted as saying by NDTV.

Violent protests hit several parts of Jammu and Kashmir with mobs attacking police posts, security personnel and a BJP office in Kulgam, media reported.

Earlier, police imposed restrictions in Pulwama district and parts of Srinagar city, suspended mobile internet services in Kashmir Valley, and temporarily suspended Amarnath Yatra.

Top Hizb ul Mujhadeen militant Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces on Friday.

Authorities on Friday placed several Hurriyat leaders under house arrest to prevent them from leading rallies against the killing of Burhan Wani.
