Violating curfew, protesters poured on to streets and tried to block traffic on the Jammu-Pathankot highway in Samba town on Monday afternoon, police sources said.
When cane-charge and teargassing proved ineffective, the police opened fire in which two protesters were killed and four suffered injuries, the sources said.
Curfew was relaxed from 0500 to 0800 hours in Jammu and from 0800 to 1000 hours in Samaba, officials said adding no untoward incident was reported from the two districts during lifting of the curfew.
