SRINAGAR: A complete shutdown was observed across Kashmir Valley on Monday against the killing of six innocent Kashmiris in Shopian district.
On Sunday, the Indian troops had opened fire on a car near a military camp in Pahnoo area of the district, resulting in the death of six innocent people. The killings led to massive clashes between protesters and the occupational forces in Shopian, Pulwama and other areas.
Call for the strike was given by the Joint Resistance Leadership comprising of Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik. The authorities imposed strict restrictions in Srinagar, Islamabad, Shopian, Puwlama and Kulgam districts and suspended internet mobile services in South Kashmir to prevent protests.
Kashmir’s Public Service Commission (PSC) postponed the examination for four papers which were scheduled to be held on Monday.
On the other hand, Indian police launched major search operations at two separate places in the Rajouri district. The forces conducted searches in Chawa, Mochi Mohalla, Crusher Morh, Tandwal, Thandikassi, Iran Khanetar, Gambhir and Kakora areas.
