Police said fresh clashes killed one protester and injured five in India’s portion of Kashmir, as a security lockdown marred Eid festivities in the troubled region.

A police officer said security forces fired tear gas and shotgun pellets to quell protesters Tuesday in the Bandipora area of northern Kashmir and Shopian in the south.

Shops and businesses were closed, with a curfew in effect in the entire Kashmir Valley.

Most people remained indoors for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha.
