Srinagar: People in many parts of the city came out today to resume their daily activities but normal life elsewhere in the Valley remained affected for the 116th day due to the separatist-sponsored strike.
Autorickshaws and inter-district cabs were seen plying in the city in increased numbers here today as more people defied the separatist-sponsored strike.
There was an increase in the number of private cars as well.
Some shops were also open in few areas in the civil lines and the outskirts of the city, while a large number of street vendors set up their stalls at many places, the officials said.
However, most of the shops, business establishments and fuel stations in the rest of the city and other parts of Kashmir were closed.
They are expected to open later in the evening as the separatists have announced a 14-hour relaxation in the strike from 5 PM onwards.
