At least five persons were injured on Thursday in fresh clashes between youths and police following an attempt by activists of a women separatist organisation to take out a march in defiance of curfew orders in Srinagar.
Officials said that members of Dukhtaran-e-Millat led by its chief Syeda Asiya Andrabi assembled at Mughal Mohalla locality of Chattabal this afternoon and started moving towards Pather Masjid in the old city.
As the women activists were moving ahead, hundreds of youth joined them. However, police and paramilitary forces stopped the processionists at Chattabal bridge leading to clashes between the two sides.
Meanwhile, life continued to remain disrupted in Srinagar and other parts of the valley due to the curfew restrictions, imposed in seven police station areas on June 28, with government offices, banks and educational institutions remaining closed and transport services being off the road.
