Protests over land for Hindu shrine; one dead
Hundreds of Kashmiris attacked government offices and a police post in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Tuesday to protest the killing of a local resident, police said. The protesters took to the streets after a 37-year-old man, shot at by police at the Mondays rally protesting the state governments transfer of 99 acres of forestland to the Amarnath Shrine Board, died of his wounds. At least 30 protesters were injured when police baton charged them after they stoned government offices, attacked a police post and damaged several vehicles and three-wheeled taxis in Srinagar and Ganderbal.
