Clashes erupted between government forces and protesters in Thoker Pora Qaimoh area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district after forces launched a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) in the area.

Sources said  that youth took to streets and started pelting stones on forces who retaliated with tear smoke shells triggering clashes.

Earlier a joint team of Army, SOG and CRPF cordoned-off the entire area after receiving inputs about the presence of militants in the area. 

More details awaited.
