New Wave of Protests: Masses Hold Kashmir Streets Srinagar, July 15, KONS: Kashmir's protests turned a new leaf on Monday as protestors occupied streets in a peaceful show of resistance, marking, perhaps, a new era in the movement in the troubled Himalayan region   Street belligerence had brought Srinagar to a halt after city life began a tentative stir in the morning, and the Hurriyat (G) scored a hit as thousands in the summer capital and outlying districts held the streets in response to its call amid a total shutdown. Relieved of restrictions after a number of days, the old city surged outdoors for sit-ins and protests on the roads, and mosques blared freedom slogans, as squatters chanted "Go India, Go." Notably in Rajouri Kadal and the Nauhatta Chowk adjoining the central Jamia Masjid, people laid mats in the central square and began a day-long dharna, holding road-side prayers at namaz times, and being served sherbet and tahiri by volunteers. Similar scenes were repeated throughout the interior city, numerous uptowns areas and the Srinagar suburbs. Mosque loudspeakers remained active till late in the evening with Islamic and freedom slogans to bolster street protestors who included the young and the old, male and female. The protestors also pitched tents for shelter from the sun, and in Ganpatyaar, Habba Kadal, the police disrupted the sit-in with tear gas and cane charges, overturning the cooking vessels of community kitchens. The forces resorted to aerial firing in their assault on the peaceful squatters, and later imposed tight restrictions to prevent the demonstrators from reassembling. Uptown areas of Batmalu and  Rambagh too flared up with protests, as did Hari Singh High Streets as mosques exhorted people to come out doors and take the streets. In Pampore, the forces used violence to break up the demonstrations.   Fund Raising for Empowering Shia Women and Youths in Jammu and Kashmir. This is the best A'mal to give charity in these Holy Months. During my visit of Kashmir in May 2010, I witnessed the sufferings of Shia Communities in Jammu and Kashmir. I found it is our duty to help what ever we can and I found compulsory to act and bring awareness about Oppressed, Depressed Shia Communities. I take this initiative to start fund raising with the collaboration of most deserved organizations in Jammu & Kashmir. We would like to help to empower women and youths who are suffering more and victims of all kind of situation. Any body willing to join me in this campaign will be highly appreciated. I am confident that all will come forward to help and support me to help Shia Communities in Jammu & Kashmir. Our first support is to help the Dar ul Qur'an Al Zahra in Srinagar and Mire Behri that will start in 15th Shaaban.
