Shia march dispersed in Kashmir

Police in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-administered Kashmir, have used batons and teargas to break up a Shia mourning procession.

Several mourners were arrested as they marched through a part of the city where processions have been banned since 1988, says our correspondent.

Officials said they dispersed the mourners for security reasons.

Two other routes have been provided for such processions, away from the more densely populated areas.
