Trouble stricken Kashmir is on the news for wrong reasons once again. It was horrifying scene as Kashmir is on the boil as thousands defy curfew order to turn up at Hizbul commander’s funeral. Some 30,000 people turned up for the funeral and there was security breach and clashes with security forces followed to make the situation worse. By setting fire to vehicles and police posts the fight took a different proportion and police resorted various means to get the funeral procession take a peaceful way. In the melee 11 killed and over 200 hurt in the Kashmir valley and now it will be tit for tat between the forces and the Kashmiri militant leaders. Pakistani flags were seen at the funeral procession and it was sad taste affairs taking place in this country. In the meanwhile Amarnath yatra is suspended as no pilgrim are allowed to meet on Jammu-Srinagar highway. The terrorist used loot guns from a police station to fire at the cops. The situation is going out of control and army has been called to assist the police.
