Policemen lynched

Two policemen were lynched in the Jourian Palanwalla area in Jammu today. A magisterial probe has been ordered into Monday’s police firing on protesters in Samba in which two persons were killed.
Congress leaders have suggested a compromise formula. It includes an amendment to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board Act to take only State subjects on the Board. The fears of a demographic change with any land diversion to the Shrine Board could then be allayed. The agitators, however, have rejected the idea.
In Srinagar, 18 people were injured in clashes between police and agitators protesting the call to block the highway.
