Normal life across the Kashmir valley was partially affected on Tuesday due to shutdown called by separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani to protest the killing of three militants in south Kashmir.
Private vehicles were plying on capital Srinagar’s roads, but only partial public transport was seen in uptown and civil lines areas of the city. However, markets in old city remained closed.
Banks, post offices, schools and government offices were also impacted due to the strike in the city and other places in the Valley with reduced attendance.
The strike also affected inter-district transport service in Kashmir.
Geelani late last evening had called for the shutdown against the killing of three militants belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen outfit on Monday in Tantraypora Siligam of Islamabad district.
