Srinagar, Jan. 28 (TNS): Normal life was disrupted in districts in South Kashmir on Sunday because of a strike called by Hurriyat groups as well as restrictions imposed by occupation forces.
Strike came in reaction to the martyrdom of two young Kashmiris in Shopian’s Ganovpora by Indian Army a day earlier.
Indian authorities suspended mobile internet services in the districts of Pulwama, Anantnag, Kulgam and Shopian and reduced the speed of broadband internet services to 128 kbps in the rest of the Valley, PTI reported.
Indian forces also restricted movement of people in the jurisdictions of Srinagar’s Safakadal, Khanyar, Nowhatta, Rainawari and MR Gunj police stations.
On Sunday, shops and other businesses were closed, and public transport stayed off roads. Private vehicles, however, were plying in Srinagar’s Civil Lines area. Train services between Banihal and Baramulla have been suspended.
