Normal life was paralysed in Kashmir and Chenab valley areas of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday due to shutdown called by the separatist leadership to mourn killing of six civilians in Kulgam yesterday.
Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) has called for shutdown today and a march to Lal Chowk tomorrow to protest the “bloodbath” in Laroo village of Kulgam where six civilians died in a blast at the site of a gunfight yesterday.
In Srinagar’s Old City, restrictions were clamped to foil any protests against the Kulgam killings. In Nowhatta, Rajouri Kadal, Saraf Kadal, Maharaj Gunj, Gojwara, Khanyar, Safa Kadal and other areas of the Old City, government forces were keeping a tight vigil to keep protesters at bay, witnesses said. At many places, forces have laid razor wire to restrict movement of people.
Meanwhile, reports of a complete shutdown have also been received from other major towns of north, south and central Kashmir.
On Sunday, six civilians were killed in Laroo village in a blast caused by explosives left at the site of an encounter in which government forces killed three local militants. More than 20 civilians were wounded, five of them with bullets and the rest with pellets, as government forces opened fire at protestors near the encounter site.
