| Valley peaceful after violence-marred Eid | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Nov 18: A day after violent protests marred Eid-ul-Azha celebrations at several places in Kashmir, the Valley remained peaceful today with people distributing meat of sacrificial animals amid intermittent rain.
"The situation across Kashmir Valley remained peaceful as there was no report of any untoward incident from anywhere so far," a police spokesman said.
However, two children suffered injuries while bursting firecrackers in Dulbagh area on the outskirts of the city. Both have been admitted to a hospital for treatment, the spokesman said.
The Valley witnessed violent protests at several places soon after Eid-ul-Azha prayers yesterday, leaving a protestor and a policeman injured. A police vehicle was also torched by protestors in Anantnag district.
The police vehicle was set ablaze by angry protestors at Janglat Mandi in Anantnag district town, 55 kms from here.
The situation remained by and large peaceful today with people celebrating the festival with religious fervour and gaiety. However, the overcast sky, intermittent rains and icy winds proved a spoilsport as the sudden change in the weather forced the children to stay indoors.
Despite the drop in the day temperature, large number of private vehicles were plying on the city roads as people distributed the mutton of sacrificial animals among friends and relatives and exchanged Eid greetings.
Almost all shops and business establishments, private offices, educational institutions, government offices, banks and courts remained closed on account of the two-day holiday in connection with the festival.
Police and CRPF personnel, who have been deployed in strength to maintain law and order, were seen patrolling the roads and keeping vigil in sensitive areas.
