In Jammu and Kashmir, authorities today brought under curfew more areas to curb spread of violence. With overnight protests in many areas of south Kashmir, curfew was clamped in Bijbehara, Pahalgam and Pulwama districts this morning. Curfew is also being strictly enforced in Sopore, Baramulla, Anantnag and seven police stations areas of Srinagar. Police said, additional contingents of paramilitary and police units have been deployed to ensure effective enforcement of curfew. Three persons were killed and two others injured as CRPF personnel allegedly opened fire at a group of stone pelting protestors in Anantnag on Tuesday. Life continues to remain disrupted in Srinagar city and other parts of the valley in response to a strike called by separatists. While most of the leaders and activists of hard-line faction of Hurriyat, including its chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, have been arrested, the moderate faction of Hurriyat leaders have been placed under house arrest since June 28.
