Protesters and government forces indulged in clashes near the Jamia Masjid Srinagar, on a day Kashmir was celebrating Juma’at-ul-Vida, the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadhan.
Shortly after Friday prayers, mobs of youth resorted to anti-India and pro-freedom slogans and pelted stones on forces near Jamia Masjid and adjoining areas of Nowhatta.
Police fired teargas shells and used batons to disperse the stone-pelting protesters.
