Srinagar, Oct 21 (IBNS): Normal life in Kashmir was affected on Saturday due to a strike called by Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) to protest against braid chopping incidents even as authorities imposed restrictions in several areas of the city as a precautionary measure, officials said.

Schools, shops and other business establishments remained closed due to the strike called by JRL leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik.

Public transport remained off roads but some private vehicles could be seen plying in the civil lines area of the city, officials said.

The JRL had called for a shutdown against the alleged braid chopping attacks in Jammu and Kashmir over the past one month.

The Srinagar District Magistrate said restrictions under Section 144 of the CrPC will remain in force in parts of the city as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident.

The areas where restrictions have been imposed are police stations Nowhatta, Khanyar, Rainawari, M R Gunj, Safakadal and partially in Kralkhud and Maisuma, he said.
