Security forces used tear smoke shells to chase away the protesters, the official said, adding that clashes were going on when the last reports came in.

Students’ groups had called for protests against the “brutality perpetrated by forces on students” of Degree College Pulwama in south Kashmir, where clashes with security forces left many injured last week.
