In occupied Kashmir, normal life remains affected due to the shutdown, today, against the killing of prominent mujahid commander, Zakir Musa, and a civilian.
Call for the shutdown has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani, to protest against the killing of Zakir Musa and the civilian, Zahoor Ahmed. Most of the shops, fuel stations and other business establishments remain closed in the Kashmir valley while transport is off the road due to the strike.
Indian troops martyred Zakir Musa along with his associate in a clash in Dadsara Tral area of Pulwama district on Thursday. The civilian, Zahoor Ahmad, a resident of Naira area of Pulwama district, was abducted and killed by Indian armed agents on the same day.

The authorities also continue to keep the educational institutions closed and mobile internet and train services snapped across the Kashmir valley.
