Jammu and Kashmir police used batons and tear smoke shells on Saturday to disperse people agitating for reservations.

The scheduled caste and scheduled tribe communities took out a protest march in Jammu to press for reservations.

As the protesters demanded that some officials from the government must meet them to address their demands, police erected barricades to stop their march near Indira Chowk.

The protesters brought down the barricades after which the police used batons and tear smoke shells.
