Separatists extend strike call till Sept 1

SRINAGAR: To keep the unrest in Kashmir going on, the separatists today extended their strike call and agitation till September 1 and announced a new calendar of protests, including a march to Srinagar-based Army headquarters on the weekend.

The separatists also called for a joint march to Eidgah in downtown Srinagar on Friday, according to a statement.

They also asked people to lock down all routes to their localities and villages by “every means” during night to “protect” people in general and youth in particular from the raids and arrests by security forces and police.
