Srinagar was under curfew like restrictions for the last several days, but now curfew has been formally imposed in the city.
Even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah asked his ministers to visit various areas to restore peace, life in the Valley remained affected for the fifth consecutive day on Thursday amid curfew and clashes. Curfew is likely to remain in force on Friday too.
With roads wearing a deserted look and uneasy calm prevailing, life remained hit for the fifth day in Sopore and for the third day in Anantnag and Baramulla.
Despite strict restrictions enforced by the police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), people took to streets in Sopore, Sangam, Bijbehara, Malak Nag and Anchidora and staged demonstrations in protest against the killing of 11 youths by the CRPF and the police in the past 11 days.
Protests erupted at Kawdara, Natipora, Chattabal, Parimpora, Bemina and Maisuma in the city, with scores of people staging demonstrations.
Twelve people were injured when CRPF and police personnel resorted to baton-charge and burst teargas shells to break up a march at Chattabal.
Thousands of personnel, equipped with riot gear and arms, manned lanes, by-lanes, roads and the deserted streets of the city.
