A strict curfew was enforced for the second day Tuesday in two northern towns in Indian
Kashmir after two protesters were killed in police firing, officials said.
The young demonstrators were killed Monday in the town of Baramulla, 55 kilometres (34 miles)
north of the Kashmiri summer capital Srinagar, while protesting against the alleged harassment of
a Muslim woman by police.
The shootings brought thousands more on to the streets in protests that spread to the
neighbouring town of Sopore, prompting the district authorities to impose curfews in both towns.
