One person was killed and three others injured as police opened fire and lobbed teargas shells to quell stone-pelting mobs in Kupwara and Baramulla districts of north Kashmir today.

Raising slogans, residents of Kralpora-Trehgam, 150 km from here, took out a procession in the town this morning and clashed with law enforcing agencies when they asked them to disperse, prompting police to open fire in which one person was killed and two others were injured, a police spokesperson said.

The deceased was identified as 23 year old Muddasar Ahmed.

Two others injured in the incident, including 50 year old Janaat Begum, have been admitted to a local hospital. The condition of both of them was stated to be stable, he said.

The spokesperson said to maintain law and order, curfew has been imposed in Kupwara town.

In Pattan town of Baramulla district, people defied curfew and clashed with security forces prompting them to fire teargas shells in which a youth was injured, he said.

The injured has been referred to Srinagar's Soura medical institute, the spokesman said.

He said barring Pattan, Baramulla, Handwara and Kupwara towns, there was no curfew anywhere else in the Valley.

In Srinagar, groups of youth pelted stones on security forces at Sheraz Chowk, Rangar Stop, Zaldagar and Boohrikadal in old city but there was no report of any casualty.

However, life in the Valley remained paralysed as shops and business establishments, educational institutions and private offices remained closed and transport was off the roads in response to the separatists' call for strike.
