SRINAGAR: Police say government forces are battling a group of suspected rebels inside a government compound in the Indian-held Kashmir (IHK).
Police say army and paramilitary soldiers cordoned off a government compound after gunshots were heard near saffron-rich Pampore town on Monday. One soldier was reported injured in the initial fighting.
