Srinagar, Apr 19 (UNI) Two senior police officers were among several cops injured during violence on Thursday when polling was held in Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency (PC), spread over three central Kashmir districts of Badgam, Srinagar and Ganderbal.
A spokesman of the Jammu and Kashmir government said late Thursday night that during the polling for Srinagar PC, several incidents of stone pelting on security forces and polling staffs were reported.
During the election process, security forces came under severe stone pelting from miscreants who had congregated at various places. However security forces while dealing with such hostile stone pelting mobs exercised utmost restraint.
Consequently, several police and security force personnel including two Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) and several other cops got injured due to stone pelting.
In another incident of stone pelting at Hyderpora, 1 civilian driver identified as Mohammad Yaseen Dar aged 22 years sustained critical injuries in his head. He is undergoing treatment at a hospital and is stated to be critical.
Security forces exercised utmost restraint while dealing with hostile stone pelting mobs and it was due this that the polling process concluded peacefully today.
The administration therefore appeal people to cooperate with the officials in discharging the lawful duty of conducting poll in a peaceful manner and elements involved in such unlawful activities shall be strictly dealt under law.
