Srinagar: Normal life continued to remain affected for the 107th straight day today in Kashmir due to separatist-sponsored strike following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani in an encounter on July 8.
While there were no curbs on the movement of people anywhere in Kashmir, the official said restrictions on assembly of four or more people were in place throughout the Valley for maintaining law and order.
He said forces have been deployed in strength at vulnerable spots and along the main roads as a precautionary measure.
Shops, business establishments and fuel stations remained shut, but are expected to open this evening as separatists have given a 14-hour relaxation in the shutdown from 5 pm.
The separatists, who are spearheading the ongoing agitation in support of their demand for right to self determination, have been issuing weekly protest calendars since Wani was killed.
The ongoing unrest in Kashmir has affected education as schools, colleges and other educational institutions continue to remain shut in the Valley.
The government has notified holding of board examinations as per the schedule next month, but the move has drawn sharp criticism from students and parents who accused it of being insensitive to lack of academic activity due to the shutdown.
As many as 95 people have been killed and several thousand others injured in the ongoing unrest in the Valley.
