Ensuing violence in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, after a top Hizbul Mujahideen commander was killed last week, has claimed at least 30 lives, leaving nearly 350 people injured whilst unrest refuses to die down.&nbsp; 
 
The Muslim-majority valley of Kashmir has been placed under strict curfew over past three days paralysing normal life in most parts. Mobile internet services also remain suspended for third day running.&nbsp; 
 
In some parts of the valley, however, people have been defying restrictions triggering further clashes.&nbsp; 
 
Situation worsens in southern Kashmir&nbsp; 
 
Twenty one years old Burhan Wani, tipped as the face of new-age militancy in Kashmir, was killed earlier on Friday in an encounter in Kokernag area. Wani hailed from a village in Tral in South Kashmir, where most of his associates were based. He gained popularity through social media network.&nbsp; 
 
After his killing, tens of thousands of locals joined his funeral prayers across the disputed region. 
 
A majority of agitators, who died in last three days, belong to southern part of Kashmir, where the situation has worsened amid growing unrest.&nbsp; 
 
In summer capital Srinagar, situation further deteriorated on Sunday evening after the death of a youth.&nbsp; 
 
Tension has gripped other parts of the valley as well.&nbsp;&quot;There are clashes going on in our area between forces and locals, especially youth.

&#39;Medical emergency&#39; declared by government-run hospital in Srinagar 
 
The number of injured has also risen putting a pressure on government hospitals in the state.&nbsp; 
 
A &lsquo;medical emergency&rsquo; was declared by a government-run city hospital in Srinagar on Sunday in wake of the situation.&nbsp;

Many of them suffered bullet injuries and with wounds from lethal weapons like pellet guns,&rdquo; Sri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) Hospital&#39;s Dr Adil Ashraf said. Routine admissions, theater and leaves of the doctors have been cancelled here.&nbsp; 
 
According to Dr Aadil, president, Residents Doctors Association at SMHS and associated hospitals, the government forces resorted to tear gas shelling inside hospital premises. 
 
&quot;Four lung disease patients were being treated in the emergency room when police resorted to tear gas shelling leading to severe suffocation of patients,&quot; he said. 
 
A local, Mehraj Din, who was attending a 70-year-old man inside the hospital, claimed the police have beaten attendants inside the hospital. &quot;This will make the suituation only worse as there is already too much anger among locals,&quot; he said. 
 
The hospital administration added the staff received calls from many doctors that ambulances were not allowed by Indian forces at several places adding to not only the &#39;shortage of staff but putting patients&#39; lives at risk&#39;.

Ensuing violence in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, after a top Hizbul Mujahideen commander was killed last week, has claimed at least 30 lives, leaving nearly 350 people injured whilst unrest refuses to die down.
