Srinagar, Oct 08: Normal life was badly hit in the Kashmir Valley Monday due to a strike called by the separatists against the holding of the local bodies’ polls, the first phase of which began Monday morning across the state.

Shops, business establishments, private offices and fuel stations remained closed here in Srinagar and all other major towns. Public transport was off the roads, while very few private cars, taxis and autorickshaws were seen plying in some areas of the city and towns.

Similar reports of shutdown were received from the other district headquarters of the Valley.

Though authorities had not imposed there restrictions anywhere in the Valley, but police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in strength in the “vulnerable areas to maintain law and order”.

The separatists, under the banner of the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), had called for a shutdown on Monday against the holding of the local bodies’ polls in the state.

The JRL — comprising Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik – had asked the people to observe a complete strike against the “so-called elections”.

Voting for the first phase of the four-phased local bodies’ polls began Monday morning across the state.

The authorities had placed Mirwaiz under house-arrest on Sunday, while Malik was taken into preventive custody earlier this month. Geelani continues to remain under house-detention for some time now.
