Youths enforce shutdown, streets deserted again in Kashmir

SRINAGAR: Streets wore a deserted look in Kashmir again with youths enforcing shutdown at many places as six people were injured in a clash between stone-pelters and police in the Valley on Saturday.

As the clock struck 2 pm, youths hit the roads forcing closure of businesses and shops and within minutes the markets wore a deserted look.

In some areas in Srinagar, shopkeepers who offered resistance were greeted with stones, official sources said. Earlier, schools and business establishments reopened in the morning as separatists asked people to resume their normal activities till 2 pm.

However, in Pulwama the markets opened for an hour with youths descending on the roads and hurling stones to enforce a shutdown, the sources said.
