Hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference, spearheading the 80-day-long agitation in Kashmir Valley today announced a three-day break in protests on the eve of forthcoming festival of Eid-ul-Fitr next week.

"There will be no strike on September 9, 10 and 11 in connection with Eid-ul-Fitr," Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani said issuing a fresh 11-day protest calender.

Eid-ul-Fitr is being observed on September 10 or 11, depending on the citing of the moon which marks the beginning of a new month in the lunar calendar.

However, Geelani asked people to observe the festival with simplicity and stage demonstrations after Eid prayers.

He also announced a break in the strike on September 5 to allow people to prepare for 'shab-e-Qadr' (the night of power).

As per the earlier calender, there will be no strike tomorrow, which marks 'Jumat-ul-Vida', last Friday of the ongoing holy fasting month of Ramazan.

The Hurriyat conference has called for a complete shutdown in the Valley that has adversely affected the economy of the state.

The 80-day period of shutdowns and curfews has dented the economy of Jammu and Kashmir by a whopping Rs21,000-crore.

The Valley has been rocked by violence following the death of a teenager on June 11 after he was allegedly hit by a tear smoke shell near Rajouri Kadal area of the old city. Street protests broke out in the Valley which has claimed 65 lives so far.
