Curfew back in Jammu and Kashmir, 5 hurt

Seventy-one civilians have been killed and thousands of others injured in firings and other actions since Wani's killing on July 8.

SRINAGAR: Curfew was reimposed on parts of Srinagar and north-western town of Baramulla and Kaloosa area of neighbouring Bandipore district on Thursday, following renewed violence amid pro-aazadi demonstrations.

Curfew as part of a 53-day-long-clampdown to contain widespread protests and violence in the Valley in the aftermath of the killing of Hizb-ul-Mujahedin’s Internet-savvy poster boy Burhan Wani had been lifted only a day ago.

Five civilians were injured in the shooting, three of them seriously. Seventy-one civilians have been killed and thousands of others injured in firings and other actions since Wani’s killing on July 8.
