Srinagar, Mar 10 (IBNS): Normal life was affected in Kashmir valley of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday due to a strike called by the Kashmir Separatist leadership against the killings of civilians in Pulwama district during a gunfight between militants and forces on Thursday.

Authorities on Friday placed top resistance leaders, including chairmen of both factions of Hurriyat Conference, under house arrest to maintain law and order in the Valley.

Shops, business establishments and educational institutions remained closed while train service were  suspended from Banihal to Baramulla in wake of strike called by Hurriyat and JKLF factions.

Reports said most of public and private transport remained off the roads, while thin attendance was seen in government and public sector offices.
