Indian troops were deployed in strike-hit Kashmir Monday to prevent Muslims from holding rallies to protest against the arrival of soldiers in the region 61 years ago, officials said. The army presence came a day after a student protester was killed and 20 others were hurt when police opened fire and used teargas to disperse thousands of anti-India demonstrators in the Muslim-majority state. Monday's strike closed all shops, schools, banks and businesses in Srinagar, the summer capital of the insurgency-wracked Himalayan region.
