SRINAGAR, India, Ramadan 04, 1431/Aug.14 (SPA) - India re-imposed a curfew in Kashmir on Saturday and deployed thousands of police, officials said, a day after four protesters died in fresh demonstrations that have so far killed 55 people, Reuters reported. The two-month-old protests, have shown no sign of abetting despite calls for calm by public figures, including separatist leaders. The latest violence started with the death of a teenage student in early June. Most deaths have been from police firing into protesters, Reuters disclosed. Authorities had lifted the curfew on Thursday, the start of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar when Muslims the world over fast from daylight until sunset. --SPA 14:43 LOCAL TIME 11:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/810056
