    What's the story

    Normal life in Kashmir was affected today due to the strike called by separatists to protest against the landing of the army in the valley on this day in 1947 to repulse the invasion by Pakistan.

    Shops, fuel stations, private offices, and other business establishments remained closed in Srinagar, officials said.

    They said some private schools also remained closed due to the strike.
