Despite stern warning to traders, shopkeepers and transporters against closing their businesses by the Indian authorities, strike was observed in several areas of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir against the conviction of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik by an Indian kangaroo court in a concocted case.
According to Kashmir Media Service, JKLF Chairman Yasin Malik was convicted by an India’s notorious National Investigation Agency court on Thursday in a manifestly dubious and motivated case, filed against him in 2017.
The police detained dozens of Hurriyat activists including a JKLF leader in Srinagar and other parts of the valley.
Indian forces’ personnel made announcement through loudspeakers that those traders and transporters closing their businesses would face dire consequences.
Indian troops and police personnel were patrolling in government vehicles in Residency Road, Regal Chowk, Ghantaghar, Maisuma and other parts Srinagar and adjoining areas to force traders and shopkeepers to open their business.—INP
