Protesters defy curfew orders

Jammu: Protests against the cancellation of land allotment to the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board continued on Sunday and 35 people were injured in clashes with the police and RAF personnel.

The Baba Amarnath Yatra Sangharsh Samiti, which is leading the agitation, extended the bandh till July 8.

In the morning, curfew orders were defied at Muthi, Gangiyal and Kathua. Post-afternoon, the situation was peaceful as curfew was relaxed from 6 to 8 p.m. throughout Jammu.

Besides seeking restoration of land to the Amarnath Board, the BJP has demanded the removal of Governor N.N. Vohra.
