India Eid curfew

India imposes Eid curfew across Kashmir

Fresh violence on Tuesday left one protester dead and at least 22 others were injured as security forces blocked roads to several important mosques.

Mobile and data services have been stopped. Curfew on Eid is extremely rare in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Officials said the shutdown was to stop plans by separatists to march to the UN observers' office in Srinagar.

The Press Trust of India agency added that Eid congregations were not held at the important Idgah and Hazratbal shrines for the first time in 26 years.
