Srinagar: Normal life was crippled due to shutdown on Saturday on the call by Joint Resistance Leaders in Kashmir against ban by GoI on Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) by the central government.
All the shops and business establishments remained closed in summer capital Srinagar while traffic was also off the roads.
Similar reports of shutdown were also received from other district headquarters of the Kashmir.
Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was placed under house arrest at his residence at Nigeen here.
The JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik has said the government of India’s decision of banning the JKL for five years is highly “authoritarian, autocratic and pure political vendetta.”
