Students clash with police in several parts of Kashmir
Eye witnesses said that police resorted to teargas shelling to disperse protesting students of SP College on Maulana Azad road in Srinagar, triggering intense clashes.
“We assembled here on the road to protest peacefully and extend our solidarity with the pulwama degree college students," Raashid, a student of SP college told IBNS in Srinagar.
According to police, the protesting students were asked to stage demonstration inside the college campus as the gathering outside was likely to block the road. But they didn’t agree and continued to block the road.
Reports of protests came from Shopian, Baramulla, Bandipora, Kupwara and Ganderbal districts besides the Kashmir University.
