PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has termed "unfortunate" the death of two youths during firing on a crowd allegedly by security forces in Pulwama district of south Kashmir today.
"The unfortunate incident, which could have been avoided, has claimed lives of two students, including a girl, and injured nearly six civilians," she said.
She said that such incidents are "uncalled-for" and security forces must "observe restraint" while dealing with civilians in such a situation.
She expressed her solidarity with the families of the victims.
The two youths -- Danish and Shahista -- were killed earlier in the day in firing allegedly by security forces on a crowd that was holding a protest over an encounter in Pulwama in which an unidentified militant was gunned down.
