Clashes erupted in north Kashmir’s Sopore town in Baramulla district on Friday soon after congregational prayers, reports said.
Local sources said that hundreds of people tried to march from Jamia masjid Sopore after prayers and they started raising pro-freedom and anti-India slogans.
However forces deployed in large numbers swung into action and used force to disperse them near main bazaar resulting in clashes.
Reports of clashes between protesters and forces have also reached from Jamia Qadeem which were going on when reports last came in.
