Srinagar, Sep 8 (UNI) With less than a week left for Eid-ul-Azha, normal life remained paralysed for the 62nd day today due to strike in Kashmir valley, where clashes between 'pro freedom' demonstrators and security forces also continued. Even though Eidul-Azha is just five days away, the usual festive mood is missing this time around in Kashmir in view of the ongoing unrest that has left 75 people, including two women, dead and over 7000 others injured in security force action since July 9, a day after Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) commander Burhan Wani and two other militants were killed in an encounter in Anantnag. However, shoppers could be seen thronging the city markets to buy essential commodities in the evenings, when there is a relaxation in strike between 1800 hrs to 0600 hrs. Meanwhile, restrictions on assembly of people under Section 144 CrPC continued in major towns and tehsil headquarters, including summer capital, Srinagar, in the valley, where separatists have today urged people to paint all roads, lanes, walls, post and polls with slogans. Both the factions of the Hurriyat Conference (HC) and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), heading the present agitation since July 9, in its latest calendar besides extending the strike till September 16, have called for ‘UN challo’ on Eid-al-Adha, which will be celebrated on September 13. Shops and business establishments remained closed and traffic was off the roads in Srinagar, including Lal Chowk, Residency road, Ghani Khan Market and Polo view Market and other markets in the civil lines. The work in government offices, banks and public sector undertakings also remained paralysed in Srinagar, where educational institutions still wore a deserted look as students stayed away. However, some private vehicles and two wheelers could be seen plying in the city. Some three wheelers were also seen plying on city routes before 0900 hrs. People were also facing problems as no cheques were being cleared in any of the banks leading to non-payments of thousands of cheques. Now the banks, functioning with very less staff in high security zone areas, are refusing to accept cheques. MORE UNI ABS SDR AS1411
