Separatist-sponsored strike disrupts normal life in Kashmir

Srinagar: The separatist-sponsored strike disrupted normal life in Kashmir today with most of the shops across the Valley shut and transport off the roads.

However, some cabs and mini-buses were plying in some areas in the civil lines as well as in the outskirts of the city here, officials said.

They said few shops were also open in these areas.

The officials said while reports of shutdown were received from most of the district headquarters of the Valley, some inter-district cabs, connecting the summer capital Srinagar with other districts of the Valley, were plying.

Few vendors put up their stalls along TRC Chowk-Batamaloo axis through Lal Chowk city centre.
