Indian troops and police personnel fired pellets and teargas shells to disperse the protesters at various places, injuring many of them.
A resolution framed by the Joint Resistance Leadership was also adopted at various mosques during Juma prayers. The resolution condemned the killings, expressed sympathy with the families of the victims and appreciated Pakistan for observing the Kashmir Solidarity Day, today.
Indian police arrested several Hurriyat leaders and activists after subjecting them to brute force in Aabi Guzar area of Srinagar when they tried to take out a protest rally.
The puppet authorities had imposed strict restrictions in Srinagar and curfew in Kangan area of Ganderbal to prevent people from staging demonstrations.
