Srinagar: Clashes erupted between protesters and the government forces during a search operation in Hajin town of north Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Thursday.

According to reports, as soon as a joint team of Army’s 13 RR unit, Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir police and CRPF launched a cordon-and-search operation in the village, scores of protesters took to streets and pelted the forces with stones and the forces retaliated by firing teargas, triggering clashes.
