Shops, business establishments and petrol pumps continued to remain shut while public transport was off the roads. Schools, colleges and other education institutions also remained closed due to the strike called by the separatist to protest the deaths of civilians.
As many as 80 people including two policemen have been killed in the unrest that broke out a day after Wani was gunned down in an encounter with security forces in south Kashmir on July 8.
