A woman who was injured in clashes between security forces and protestors in South Kashmir succumbed to her injuries at a hospital, taking the death toll in the ongoing unrest to 42, even as curfew remained in force in the Valley.
Neelofar was injured in retaliatory firing on Monday after the protestors pelted stones at an Army vehicle in Qazigund.
Two other persons, including a woman, were killed and seven others injured in the incident.
Curfew, meanwhile, remained in force across the 10 districts of the Valley as there was no sign of deadly clashes between protestors and security forces ending.
The clashes began soon after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces on July 8.
Police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed across the Valley for strict implementation of the prohibitory orders, the official said.
He said there were no reports of fresh violence from anywhere so far.
Life also remained paralysed for the 11th day on Tuesday due to separatist sponsored strike, which has now been extended till July 22.
In a joint statement, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik on Monday said the shutdown in the Valley will continue till July 22. However, they have announced a relaxation of half day from 2.00 p.m. onwards on July 21.
Mobile telephony and mobile Internet services also remained shut while newspapers failed to hit stands for the fourth day.
