Protesters in Pakistan-held Kashmir end rallies that killed 4 after authorities revoke price hikes

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Protesters in the Pakistan-controlled part of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir have called off dayslong rallies over price hikes that left four people dead. The organizers said on Tuesday the demonstrations ended after authorities agreed to their demands and lowered the prices of electricity and wheat. The protests against price hikes erupted last Friday and quickly turned violent. Four people, including a police officer, were killed in what were the worst clashes in years in the territory between demonstrators and security forces, who used tear gas and opened fire. Authorities said more than 100 policemen were injured.
