Srinagar: Sunday disrupted due to the restrictions by state government and a shutdown called by Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) to protest against the killing of two youth in Army firing in Shopian district on Saturday.
Shops and business establishments remained closed in most parts of Kashmir while public transport was off roads due to the strike, officials said.
They said, however, private cars were plying on most of the roads in the civil lines area of the city.
Pertinently, two youth were shot dead by the army after they (army) resorted to indiscriminate firing in Ganowpora, Shopian on Saturday.
Over ten people have also been injured in the army firing while one of the youth is said to be critical.
The Joint Resistance Leadership has called for a complete state-wide shutdown today to protests against the killings.
Meanwhile, Divisional Commissioner Baseer Khan has ordered magisterial inquiry into the Shopian killings and has instructed DC Shopian to submit a report within 15 days.
Also, to thaw the protests, the state government has put several places across the Kashmir valley under strict restrictions.
Army has said that fire was opened after they came under heavy stone-throwing in which a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) was injured.
