Pressure mounts on the Omar Abdullah government as a 24 year old boy is allegedly killed by security forces trying to quell a protest. Hundreds of residents of Baramulla town took to streets on March 5 to protest what they alleged ransacking of their houses by the army in the area. Amid uproar in the Legislative Council over the death of a youth in Baramulla, the Opposition on Wednesday (March 6) demanded investigation into the alleged firing by security forces and asked for strict action against the accused. Lashing out at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) accused the National Conference of running the state into bankruptcy just to remain in power. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on March 5 broke down in the assembly over the killing of a youth allegedly by security forces during protests in Baramulla town in north Kashmir, saying the action on the mob was unjustified.
