Witnesses said that the roads were blocked by the forces by erecting concertina wires, saying that no one was being allowed to pass through the roads.
They added that the shops, which remained open yesterday, were closed as the authorities didn’t allow them to run their businesses after the administration withdrew its orders regarding the partial relaxation for some permissible activities from 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Witnesses said that police had placed rolls of barbed wires on the middle of the roads in Srinagar to prevent private vehicular traffic.
