Indian troops kill Five in Kashmir Police in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir have once again opened fire on protesters, killing at least Five and injuring more than two dozen others. According to police sources, after protests turned violent security forces were forced to open fire to disperse protesters in the southern town of Mendhar, a Press TV correspondent reported. The death toll is expected to rise as some of the injured are said to be in critical condition. The deaths have triggered more protests in neighboring Poonch district and surrounding areas with protestors attacking several police stations in the disputed Himalayan region. The regional administration has sought the help of Indian paramilitary forces to contain the situation in the predominantly Muslim region. In a separate incident, pro-independence demonstrators set fire to two government buildings to protest a round-the-clock curfew across Kashmir, which has been in place for four days now. Residents say they are running out of food and supplies. Kashmir has been the scene of violent clashes on an almost daily basis. Over 90 Kashmiri protesters have lost their lives at the hands of Indian troops since the unrest erupted back in June. Article Source: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/142612.html Show Less >>
