Indefinite curfew imposed in Kashmir after protests

Security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir have imposed an indefinite curfew in the main city of Srinagar and other big towns in the region. It comes after many people were wounded when police clashed with mass protests against Indian rule on Saturday. Tens of thousands of people marched through Srinagar following prayers to mark the end of the month of Ramadan. A new opinion poll suggests two-thirds of people living in the Kashmir valley would favor independence from India. Only 6% wanted the predominantly Muslim area to merge with Pakistan, according to the survey conducted for the Hindustan Times newspaper. But the desire for independence was not shared by people in the Hindu-majority Jammu and the mostly Buddhist Ladakh regions, it found.
