Authorities in Indian-controlled Kashmir continue to impose strict restrictions in the region’s capital Srinagar to prevent traditional Muharram processions. Mourners have however taken to the streets of the city, defying the decades-long ban.

As Press TV’s Syed Ali Safvi reports, dozens of people have been injured after police fired tear gas and used force to disperse the mourners.
