Police firing

By Our Special Correspondent

AHMEDABAD July 20. Two persons were killed and 14 injured in police firing and stone throwing following a communal clash at Viramgam in Ahmedabad district.

An indefinite curfew was clamped in Viramgam on Friday night and was extended today without any relaxation, as incidents of group clashes and stone throwing continued throughout the day.

Police, however, claimed that the situation in the town this evening was "peaceful" and curfew had been extended only as a recautionary measure.
