Separatist strike affects normal life in Kashmir

Srinagar: Separatists have called for a day-long strike in Kashmir on Friday, affecting normal life, a media report said.

However in Srinagar, public transport were seen plying in some parts of the city. Business establishments and educational institutions remained closed.

The situation was similar in other district headquarters of the Valley.

The separatists strike is called as part of the ongoing agitation since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 8.

PTI reported separatists have been issuing weekly protest programmes.

The five-month unrest in the Valley has left 86 people dead.
