Four dead in protests in Pakistan-administered Kashmir

Four people have died and 100 others were left wounded after violent clashes with authorities in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
 
Thousands of people have been on the streets since last Friday to protest rising prices of flour and electricity.
 
Organisers called off the protests Tuesday, a day after Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered subsidies worth 24 billion rupees.
 
One of the activists leading the demonstrations said the government has accepted all of their demands and they should offer financial compensation for the families of those killed in the violence.
 
Violence had intensified since the weekend, prompting authorities to cut mobile services.
