Communal violence in Jammu, Poonch

Jammu: Shops, vehicles and other property belonging to a particular community came under attack in Poonch and Jammu, forcing authorities to clamp curfew in Jammu, during a shutdown to denounce a suicide bombing that killed 49 CRPF troopers in the Kashmir Valley.

Authorities first imposed curfew and sought the Army’s help to restore order in the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir where scores of youths protesting against the suicide attack torched some vehicles and smashed many more believed to be from the Valley. Jammu District Magistrate Ramesh Kumar said curfew had been imposed in the entire Jammu city to maintain peace. (IANS)
