At least four persons were injured on Tuesday in clashes between protestors and security forces in Kashmir where a complete shutdown was observed in Srinagar and some other parts, officials said.

The clashes broke out on a day when a delegation of  European Union MPs arrived in Srinagar for a first-hand assessment of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir following revocation of the state’s special status under Article 370

Police officials said clashes broke out at several places in Kashmir including many parts of the city between protestors and security forces, resulting in injuries to four persons.

The clashes were going on in many places in the city and some other places in the valley when reports last came in.

Normal life remained disrupted in Kashmir for the 86th day following abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.

Markets remained closed while transport remained off the roads due to the clashes, the officials said.

Vendors, who had regularly set up their stalls over the past two months, also did not turn up today, they said.

However, board examinations for class 10 are being held as per schedule with parents waiting outside exam halls for their children.

Most of the top level and second rung separatist politicians have been taken into preventive custody while mainstream leaders including two former chief ministers ― Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti ― have been placed under house arrest.

The government has detained former chief minister and Lok Sabha MP from Srinagar Farooq Abdullah under the Public Safety act.
