Srinagar: The celebrations of Eid-Al-Adha were marred in Srinagar on Wednesday as violence erupted in Srinagar city of Jammu and Kashmir, where clashes broke out between security forces and stone-pelters.


The violence erupted after stone-pelters came out on streets and threw stones at the security forces and also waved flags of Pakistan along with that of terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The protesters also attacked the police vehicle with sticks.

The protesters, who came with an intent to disrupt peace, also raised slogans soon after the prayers were over.

Earlier in May, a tourist from Tamil Nadu's Chennai had lost his life in stone-pelting, a few days after the vehicle of a district judge from Bengaluru, who was on a holiday with his family, was pelted with stones.
