Srinagar: Normal life was affected in Kashmir on Monday due to a shutdown called by the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) against the recent civilian and militant killings in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
Witnesses said that all shops and other commercial establishments remained closed in the city centre and other parts of summer capital Srinagar.
They said the skeletal movement of public transport was witnessed in the city. However, private vehicles were seen plying on the roads in the city.
Reports said thin attendance was recorded in government offices.
The shutdown called by JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik was observed in other parts of the valley.
