Two people were killed yesterday and several injured as angry Amarnath Sangharsh Samiti supporters clashed with police while trying to ransack the district magistrate's office in Samba.
The agitators defied curfew and also manhandled Deputy Commissioner Saruv Bhagat. They also set several offices on fire after talks between the Samiti and Governor N N Vohra failed.
