Army was called in as curfew was imposed in Jammu city after violent clashes in which nearly a dozen people were injured and over half a dozen vehicles torched in Gujjar Nagar area of Jammu City during Jammu bandh on Friday morning.
The bandh was called by Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and it was touted by various political, social and religious organisations to protest the killing of at least 40 CRPF men in a militant attack in Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
As clashes broke out in the area with both sides pelting stones on each other, senior police officers including IGP MK Sinha reached the spot. Police resorted to lathi-charge and lobbed tear gas shells to disperse unruly mobs on both sides
