Army soldiers carry out a flag march in streets to enforce a curfew across the valley in Srinagar on Thursday, 08 July 2010. Jeeps carrying soldiers in full battle-gear, enforcing police and paramilitary troops, passed through tense and empty roads of Srinagar as police and paramilitary forces dotted the streets. Journalists and photographers were not allowed to move out on the streets of Srinagar as officials cancelled their curfew passes. The curfew, a bid to quell violent protests in the insurgency-hit region, was imposed July 6 after two men and one woman died when security personnel opened fire to contain angry separatist demonstrations that have been fuelled by the deaths of several protesters over the past month. Curfew orders have been widely ignored in recent days.
