Shutdown hits life in Kashmir Valley
The call was given by pro-freedom leaders.
The pro-freedom leaders in three separate statements announced their programme.
They blamed the “Indian secret agencies” for the killings in the area.
All educational institutions, shops and business establishments remained closed in the summer capital Srinagar while government offices and banks witnessed a thin attendance.
Public transport is largely off the roads while private transport was plying normally.
The killings began last week when gunmen shot and killed a separatist activist in Sopore.
That was followed by the deaths of three former militants and a separatist sympathizer.
Separatists have called for a rally in Sopore on Friday.
