The police say members of a paramilitary force in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir opened fire Monday on hundreds of villagers who were protesting against frequent power shortages, killing one person and wounding two others. The police told The Times of India that members of the Central Industrial Security Force, hired to guard a power plant in the Baramulla district, began shooting as the protesters shouted slogans outside the plant’s main gate. Kashmir faces power shutdowns of up to 16 hours a day despite bitterly cold winter weather.
