Jammu, July 2: Thirteen people including a CRPF constable were injured, four seriously, in a grenade attack by militants on an Amarnath protest rally in Bhaderwah in Doda district following which curfew was clamped in the town.

Unidentified militants hurled a grenade on a procession of BJP activists and members of a temple committee who were returning to the Laxmi Narain mandir in the town, officials said.

They said the rallyists, protesting the Jammu and Kashmir government's decision to revoke the order transferring forest land to the Amarnath shrine board, earlier clashed with those opposing the land transfer.
