Officials in Indian-administered Kashmir say 36 people have now died during protests following the shooting of a well-known militant leader.

About 1,500 people are being treated for injuries after the clashes between pro-separatist protesters and police.

Burhan Wani, 22, died in a gunfight with the Indian army on Friday.

Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti made a televised appeal for calm following days of clashes. The violence is the worst seen in the region for years.

Disputed Kashmir is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan and has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years, sparking two wars between the countries. 카슈미르는 인도와 파키스탄이 자기네 영토라고 주장하는 곳으로 두 나라 간에 전쟁을 촉발해왔던 60년간 화약고였다. (flashpoint: 화약고)

Within the disputed Muslim-majority territory, some militant groups have taken up arms to fight for independence from Indian rule or a merger with Pakistan. 캬슈미르는 무슬림이 대부분인 지역으로, 인도로부터 독립하거나 파키스탄과 합병을 원함.

Some 800 extra troops were being sent to help restore order in the region, it was announced earlier in the week.

Most of those killed have been young men aged between 16 and 26.

Doctors fear that a severe lack of blood and life saving medicines could cause more deaths. They say more than 100 people who have been hit in the eyes by shotgun pellets may lose their sight.

A curfew is still in force across much of the region and mobile internet and train services remain suspended.

On Wednesday, Ms Mufti made a direct appeal to the parents of young people to keep their children at home, and prevent them from joining protests being "instigated" by those who "preferred bloodshed and violence".

The state government has said it will investigate reports of excessive police violence towards unarmed protesters.

The last bout of serious violence in the region was in the summer of 2010, when more than 100 people died in anti-India protests, which broke out after police shot dead a teenager.
