New Delhi, Sept. 11 -- In Jammu and Kashmir, the Doda district, along with some adjoining areas, remained tense as violent clashes erupted between protesters and security personnel. Clashes were triggered by the detention of the Aam Admi Party MLA, Mehraj Malik, representing Doda constituency under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA).

Prohibitory orders have been imposed, and additional security forces were deployed in sensitive areas while the clashes spread to neighbouring Bhaderwah town, which resulted in injuries to both protesters and cops, including two officers.
