SRINAGAR, Apr 17: A police spokesman this evening said cops exercised maximum restraint while dealing with protests of students in Valley today.
In a statement, he said, “Students of different colleges protested at some places in Kashmir Valley today. While at many places, the students protested inside their college premises, at few places in Srinagar, Pulwama, Shopian and Kulgam the students assembled on the roads and indulged in stone pelting thus disrupting the movement of general people and traffic on busy roads. The police at these places exhibited maximum restraint and dispersed the stone pelting mobs of students by using some teargas shells.”
The spokesman added that in some places the college property was also damaged. “In the resultant chaos, some students received minor injuries and most of them were discharged after first aid. While tackling the stone pelting students, SHO Kothibagh and four policemen were injured at MA Road Srinagar. A lady constable had a fracture in her arm,” he said.
