Clashes erupted between police and youth after Friday prayers in South Kashmir’s Islamabad town.

Reports reaching here said that people gathered in the lawns of Jamia Masjid after Friday prayers and started marching towards Lal Chowk, Shouting “pro- Aazadi” and pro-Islam Slogans.

Witnesses said that Police intercepted the procession and stopped them from moving ahead which angered the youth who pelted stones on them. “Police station Sher bagh also came under the attack of stone pelting youth.”

Police resorted to heavy tear smoke shelling and baton charged the youth.

Clashes were going on in the old town areas of Islamabad, including Reshi Bazar, Mattan Chowk, Kadopora, while this reported was being filed.
