Deputy Commissioner Pulwama, Muneer A Raqib rushed to the spot and personally visited the district hospital to oversee treatment of the injured persons. He said that the injured persons were out of danger.
Meanwhile, separatist leader Shabir Shah was detained by the police in Pulwama's Tral town in South Kashmir while he was on his way to meet father of terrorist leader Burhan Wani, who was killed last year in an encounter with security forces.
The Kashmir valley remained on the boil for about six months after the killing of Burhan Wani.
Separatists tried to project Burhan as the face of youth of Kashmir and were reportedly making efforts to keep the issue alive and create unrest in the valley.
