Announcements are being made over public address systems of mosques urging people to come out of their homes against the alleged beating of people in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
Eye witness said forces barged into several houses, beat up inmates and damaged properties in Cheeni Chowk, Malak nag and Reshi Bazar areas.
They added that people are being urged to come out of homes to protest the detention of several youths.
Earlier, clashes erupted after Friday prayers when forces tear-gassed youths protesting against the beef ban order passed by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court last week.
The youth were pelting stones on the forces who responded with tear smoke shells.
Several people, including a videographer, were injured in the clashes, witnesses said.
