Tens of thousands of troops enforced a rigid curfew in Indian-ruled Kashmir on Tuesday, wary of violent demonstrations after the deaths of four protesters who were shot dead by security forces. However, at least 13 people were injured in clashes between government forces
and hundreds of protesters in the troubled Himalayan region, police said.
The mostly Muslim Kashmir region has been roiled by anti-government demonstrations and clashes between protesters and government forces for the past three months. Monday's deaths brought to 69 the number of people killed in the civil unrest against rule from predominantly Hindu India. (AP)
