The region has been hit by strikes, demonstrations and curfews over the killing of civilians during the last month by Indian police and paramilitary forces struggling to control separatist rallies. Troops enforced a strict curfew across major towns in Muslim-majority Kashmir valley on Friday, preventing many worshippers attending mosques on the Muslim day of prayer. In Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, police backed by paramilitary soldiers sealed off neighbourhoods with barbed wire and blocked roads with security vehicles. "A strict curfew is in force in major towns and no one will be allowed to violate the restrictions," senior police officer Farooq Ahmed said. The Jamia Masjid, the main mosque in Srinagar, was among the many mosques worshippers were unable to attend for Friday prayers. Small groups of protesters defied the curfew in Srinagar, clashing briefly with baton-wielding riot police, witnesses said. Other protests also occurred near Sopore town, where paramilitary forces shot dead two Muslim men last Friday after their vehicle was attacked by protesters. The town has been under curfew since then. In Anantnag town, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of Srinagar, hundreds of Muslims defied strict curfew restrictions and held a protest demonstration, witnesses said. The protests also spread to northern Kupwara district, which borders Pakistan-administered Kashmir, sparking fierce clashes after police blocked the protesters at three places. Police said in day-long clashes across Kashmir valley, some 25 people, including three women and five policemen, were hurt. A general strike called by Muslim separatists has closed shops and offices in the Kashmir valley for five days. Separatists have fought a decades-long battle against rule by New Delhi, favouring independence or for Muslim-majority Kashmir to join neighbouring Pakistan. Region's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Friday made a fresh appeal for peace in the region, and urged separatists to work with him for finding a lasting solution to the Kashmir dispute. "We must work together to find a solution which can lead to lasting peace in Kashmir as per the aspirations of the people," Abdullah said in an attempt to cool anti-India tempers in the region. The insurgency, which New Delhi says is fuelled by Pakistan, has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
