Kashmir: Security forces launch CASO in Tral, clashes erupt

Srinagar, May 7 (UNI) Security forces burst teargas shells and resorted to lathicharge to disperse the demonstrators, who hit the streets to disrupt Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) launched in Pulwama district of south Kashmir on Wednesday.

Official sources said troops of Rashtriya Rifles (RR), CRPF and Special Operation Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir police launched a joint CASO following a tip-off about the presence of militants at village Rathsun, Tral in Pulwama on Wednesday.


They said all the exit points were sealed and house to house searches were launched.

People, mostly youth, hit the streets, trying to move towards the area, where the CASO was going on.


However, security forces deployed in the area immediately swung into action and resorted to the lathicharge, which had no impact, as the agitators were regrouping and pelting stones.


Later, security forces burst teargas shells to chase away the demonstrators, they said.


They said the CASO and clashes were still going on when the reports last came in.
