Curfew, shutdowns  continue in Kashmir

Srinagar: Government-enforced curfew and separatist-called shutdown continued for an unprecedented 31st day on Monday in the Kashmir Valley as the death toll in the month-long unrest mounted to 56 after an injured civilian succumbed at a hospital here.

There were more violent protests across the valley in which at least a dozen civilians were wounded, a police spokesman said here.

The civilians were wounded in clashes with the security forces in the south Kashmir highway town of Bijbehara. Police said the injured have been shifted to hospital for treatment.
