SRINAGAR — Clashes broke out between youth and government forces in Karimabad village soon after a gunfight broke out between militants and joint teams of government forces in Parigam village of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
Local residents said that youth hit roads and resorted to stone-throwing on joint forces after they launched a search operation in Astan Mohalla area of Karimabad village.
Reports said that youth also shouted slogans using the public address system of a mosque.
However, a police official feigned ignorance about the clashes, but added that the area has been cordoned off after the input about the movement of militants in the village.
Pertinently, the joint team of forces including 53 RR launched the third cordon and search operation (CASO) in a week at another village of Astanpora, Rahmoo yesterday, following reports about the presence of some militants in the area. Even lights had been installed yesternight, but the operation was called off later.
