In Occupied Kashmir, complete shutdown is being observed in Pulwama district today against the martyrdom of two youth by Indian troops.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the troops had martyred Shariq Ahmad Sheikh and Showkat Ahmed Mir during a cordon and search operation in Tahab area of the district on Sunday.
All shops and business establishments were closed while public transport remained off the road in Pulwama, Awantipora, Tahab, Tral and adjoining areas.
The troops were heavily deployed in these areas to prevent anti-India protests.
Train service between Srinagar and Banihal remained suspended for the second day today in protest against the killings.
People from various areas continued to throng the residences of Shariq Ahmad and Showkat Ahmad in their native areas to express solidarity with their families.
Meanwhile, Indian troops resorted to heavy teargas shelling and use of brute force on civilians protesting against the ongoing cordon and search operation launched by the forces in Keller area of Shopian district, today.
The local people immediately after the cordon took to the streets and pelted stones on the troops.
