Police bursts teargas shells to disperse youths waiving Pak, JNU flags in Srinagar 2/19/2016 11:02:54 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, Feb 19: Security forces burst teargas shells and resorted to repeated lathicharge to disperse demonstrators, raising ''pro freedom slogans and waiving Pakistani flags'' in the Shehar-e-Khas (SeK) here this afternoon. The demonstrators were also waiving flags thanking the students and teachers of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for supporting them. The trouble started immediately after Friday prayers were over in the historic Jamia Masjid and other mosques in the down town and SeK. Large number of people, mostly youths, raising slogans marched upto Nowhatta Chowk, where security forces and state police personnel stopped them. However, when the demonstrators insisted that they should be allowed to go ahead, security forces resorted to lathicharge and later burst teargas shells. Traffic in the area was also diverted through other routes.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
