SRINAGAR: Businesses and shops remained closed in many parts of India-occupied Kashmir on Tuesday to mark the eighth anniversary of the secret execution of a Kashmiri activist in New Delhi.
Unlike in the past, no anti-India groups, which have long demanded the disputed region’s independence or its merger with Pakistan, called for Tuesday’s strike.
Hundreds of armed police and paramilitary personnel in riot gear patrolled the streets as most residents stayed indoors in Srinagar. Government forces at some checkpoints frisked pedestrians and searched private cars, while public transport was largely off the roads.
