- Story Text: Anger continued to mount in disputed Kashmir on Thursday (August 15) as the India-controlled Himalayan region remained under lockdown for an 11th straight day.
India's crackdown followed a decision to strip the mainly Muslim state of Jammu and Kashmir of the right to set some of its own laws, a move that has prompted sporadic protests in the past week.
Scores of people raised anti-India slogans following prayers in the neighborhood of Soura, on the outskirts of main city of Srinagar.
"Tell Modi to first lift curfew and then we'll see whether Article 370 remains or not," said a carpenter from Soura, Abdul Rashid Bhat.
Virtually no independent information has emerged from elsewhere in the Kashmir Valley but Srinagar in the past week.
More than 300 regional leaders and activists remain in various forms of detention. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
