Despite the ongoing shutdown and counter restrictions in the Kashmir valley, there has been a slight increase in pedestrian and vehicular movement on the roads, giving a semblance of normalcy on the 137th day of the current unrest. While normal life remains paralyzed to some extent, the overall situation remains peaceful, with no untoward incidents reported from any part of the valley.
However, there have been isolated incidents of stone throwing in certain areas, where protesting youth sought to enforce the shutdown. These sporadic incidents contrast with the relatively calm atmosphere prevailing throughout most of the valley.
The shutdown, without any relaxation, continues for the second consecutive day, following two days of normal activities over the weekend. This pattern aligns with the protester calendar issued by separatist leaders Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and Mohammad Yasin Malik, indicating the persistence of unrest and civil disobedience in the region.
