Live India : 11 people, including three policemen, were injured in fresh violence in Jammu
At least 11 people, including three policemen, were injured in fresh violence in the city where protesters defied curfew at a few places as rest of the Jammu region observed a shutdown on Monday over the Amarnath land row.
Security forces fired in the air to scatter protesters who, defying curfew, took to the streets and fought pitched battles with police at Muthi on the outskirts of the city.
Eleven people, three of them policemen, were injured in the violence, official sources said adding the RAF personnel fired warning shots in the air after the baton-charge and teargassing proved ineffective.
Skirmishes also took place between protesters and police at Parade Ground in the heart of the city, the sources said.
For the past four days, Jammu has been seething with anger prompting authorities to clamp curfew in some parts of the winter capital. People have defied restrictions and fought it out with the police. Several, including cops, suffered wounds in the clashes.
