Kashmir Valley remained on the edge on Sunday with the death of 19 people in two days of public protests after security forces killed young Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, the troubled state’s latest poster boy of militancy

youth was killed in the Tengpora area in Srinagar on Sunday, the first in the state’s summer capital. Unconfirmed reports put the death toll at 21 as violence spread to northern Kashmir as well.

The entire Valley remained shut with a string of pickets and police patrol trying to prevent stone-pelting protesters from marching on the streets. Mobile phone internet service has been blocked, while curfew was clamped across the Valley as clashes continued.
