Curfew re-imposed in India-held Kashmir after four days
Curfew was re-imposed in India-held Kashmir after four days on Friday.
Situation in the valley continues to be tense for the past 56 days whereas the death toll from the violence of Indian troops on innocent Kashmiris have reached 87.
Shops, business centres and educational institutions remain close with Indian soldiers deployed everywhere in the valley.
Hurriyat leaders have extended the strike call till September 8.
Occupied Kashmir has been reeling from almost daily protests since the extra-judicial murder of a popular leader, Burhan Wani, on July 8 by Indian troops.
Authorities lifted a curfew in most parts of the territory on Monday, but schools, shops and most banks remain shut and mobile internet services are still suspended.
Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since the two gained independence from British rule in 1947. Both claim the territory in full.
Several freedom fighting groups have for decades fought Indian soldiers — currently numbering around 500,000 — deployed in the territory. They demand independence for the region or its merger with Pakistan.
Tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have died in the fighting.
