A little bit of an adrenaline rush (?)

Saturday in Srinagar was a day that the town was declared shut due to tension over the Prime Minister's speech. While Dar Yasin of the Associated Press gave David and me a walk about town we heard voices and Dar said get your cameras ready! It did turn out to be a bit of a hue and cry over nothing. Police reinforcements were brought in, tear gar was handed out, the police were ready for some heavy stone pelting action. What it really was, was a few kids playing the police - the mob dissolved before it actually became one.
