SRINAGAR: The cycle of violence continued in Kashmir with a youth getting killed today in a clash between stone pelters and security forces in Anantnag even as curfew was lifted from entire Srinagar district but life remained disrupted for 60th day due to separatist-sponsored strike.
Naseer Ahmad Mir was killed in the action by security forces who were chasing away a large number of protestors in Seer Hamdan area of Anantnag in south Kashmir.
Several others, including a woman, sustained injuries in the action by security forces, a police official said.
