Srinagar, June 25: Authorities Wednes-day imposed a strict curfew in Sopore town of north Kashmir for third consecutive day following the killing of a local youth Arshad Shah in security forces’ firing.

Arshad of Naseem Bagh Sopore was shot dead while four others were injured, one of them critically, when forces resorted to firing to disperse pro-freedom protesters on Monday.

Batapora, Khushalmatta, Channakhan, Kralteng, Arimpora and adjacent areas remained under strict curfew without any deal while General Bus Stand witnessed some leniency in the curfew as forces allowed movement of few people in the area. The inhabitants of curfewed locali-ties complained of strict restrictions.

Minor stone pelting incidents were wit-nessed at Hatishah and Channakhan localities.

Troops blocked roads with wooden poles and concertina wires to foil any protest march. The main link roads including Sangrama, Seloo and Nowpora connect-ing Sopore with other areas were blocked by forces using coils of concertina wires

and no one was allowed to move.The areas where curfew was not

imposed observed complete shutdown as a mark of protest against the civilian killing. Shops, public transport, businesses and educational institutions remained closed.

Sub-Divisional Magistrate Sopore said that curfew remained in force till 6:30 p.m. “The day passed off peacefully except a few inci-dents of stone pelting. There will be no curfew on Thursday,” he informed Greater Kashmir.

Meanwhile, Hurriyat leader from Sopore, Ghulam Nabi Zaki, was allegedly beaten by CRPF and police personnel at Channakhan Bridge at 10:30 a.m, resulting in injuries to him. Zaki was on his way to visit the bereaved family of Arshad Shah to express solidarity with them.

“Bereaved family falls in my neighbor-hood and it is just a few yards away from my residence. I was on way to express my sympathy with them. As I reached Chan-nakhan Bridge, police and CRPF personnel thrashed me after an S.I of JK Police told them that I belong to Hurriyat. Some locals watching the scene from their windows rushed in to save me. As I was given water in a nearby house, forces entered there and again beat me,” he told Greater Kashmir.

Raja Ajaz Ali likely to join PDP todaySrinagar, June 25: Former Inspector General of Police, Crime, Raja Ajaz Ali is likely to join the opposition Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday.

Sources informed Greater Kashmir that Ajaz had a detailed meet-ing with PDP president Mehbooba Mufti here on Wednesday and the former may announce his joining before media on Thursday.

Sources further said that Ajaz will be the PDP candidate for Uri in the upcom-ing Assembly elections due in October-November this year. They said that Mehbooba agreed to the candidature at today’s meeting between the two.

“Raja Ajaz Ali will be a formidable PDP candidate in Uri against Taj Mohuidin of Congress and Muhammad Shafi Uri of National Confer-ence,” a PDP insider said. GKNN
