Curfew remained in force today in Kupwara and Pulwama towns even as restrictions were lifted
from most parts of the Kashmir Valley.

curfew and indulged in large scale violence yesterday leaving 15 people including seven securitymen injured police said.
Meanwhile,life continued to remain disrupted in the Valley with shops and business markets remaining closed and
transport off the roads due to the week-long shutdown called by the hardline Hurriyat led by jailed leader Syed Ali Shah
Geelani.

police. In the subsequent protests, 16 more persons including a girl, were killed allegedly by security force since then.
