The fire swept across huge areas razing dozens of structures to the ground in the area. As the news about the killings spread, people from Barzulla and adjoining areas took to the streets and clashed with the troops.
The troops fired bullets, pellets and teargas shells injuring many protesters including Jammu and Kashmir Social Youth Forum Chief Coordinator Tawseef and Srinagar District Muhammad Faisal. Heavy stone pelting was going on till last reports came in.
