Somewhere in J&K....

Fresh clashes broke out in communally- charged Kishtwar despite a fourth day of curfew on Monday.
With demands mounting for the government to fix responsibility for the violence, J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah ordered a judicial probe and asked minister of state for home Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo to resign.
The probe is likely to cover the alleged role of Kichloo’s personal security officer in triggering violence.
Four people, including two cops, were injured as protesters flouted curfew orders demanding the release of a youth arrested for his alleged involvement in last week’s violence.
Ten people have been arrested so far for participating in or inciting violence that has left three dead, scores injured and several businesses destroyed.
