Curbs, Protest, Shutdown continues on straight 101 day across Kashmir

Kashmir valley continued to remain shut for the consecutive 101th day on Monday, though more private vehicles were seen on several roads of capital Srinagar.
However, shops and business establishments including petrol pumps remained closed in commercial hub of Lal Chowk and adjoining areas.
The shutdown has affected the education as schools, colleges and other educational institutions continued to remain shut in the Valley.
The government has decided to hold board examinations as per schedule next month, drawing criticism from students and parents who accused it of being insensitive to lack of academic activity due to shutdown.
The ongoing unrest in Kashmir, triggered by the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani in an encounter with forces in July, yesterday completed 100 days.
Kashmir continued to be curfew-free but forces were deployed in strength at various spots prone to protests and street violence, said a police official.
