Srinagar: A man was killed and several people where injured in firing as protesters clashed with security forces on Tuesday morning in Bandipore, less than 70 km from Jammu and Kashmir capital Srinagar. The death toll in violent clashes in the state since July is now 80.

There is curfew in all 10 districts of the Kashmir Valley, but protesters have defied restrictions in many places, taking out demonstrations. Several people have been injured in clashes with security forces across the valley.

For the first time, Eid prayers today are not being held at the famous Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar. People have been asked to offer prayers at local mosques.

Usually bustling with festivity on Eid, Srinagar's marketplaces are deserted today, with bakeries and sweet shops closed. Shepherds who waited the whole year to sell sheep and goats for the Eid sacrifice said there were no customers.
