Curfew-like situation in Kashmir

Shujaat Bukhari

SRINAGAR: Strict curfew-like restrictions remained in force for the second day in most parts of the Kashmir valley after separatist sponsored Co-ordination Committee rescheduled its proposed march to the Jamia Masjid to Friday.

Shops, educational institutions, banks and other business establishments remained closed, while there was no or thin attendance in government offices. Streets wore a deserted look with ubiquitous police and paramilitary forces dotting them.

Chairman of the moderate faction of All Parties Hurriyat Conference and Co-Chairman of Coordination Committee Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that for the first time even the Muazzin was not able to call for prayers in the grand mosque.

Friday prayers have not been held at the grand mosque thrice after the Amarnath land row, which resulted in massive protest demonstrations throughout Kashmir valley.
