Day after shutdown,life returns to normal in Valley

Marketplaces bustled with people as shops and business establishments opened today,a day after a shutdown called by the hardline Hurriyat Conference led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

Vehicles plied normally on roads and at many places traffic snarls were witnessed.

A police spokesman said the situation throughout the Valley was normal with no reports of any untoward incident from anywhere.

Hardliner Geelani has also toned down his protest calendar exempting three days in the next week from the purview of strikes and protests.

The Valley is witnessing protests and shutdowns after the killing of a teenager here on June 11 allegedly in police action.
