The two day shutdown called by the Joint Resistance Leadership against the tinkering of Article 35-A began across the Kashmir Valley.
All shops and business establishments remained closed while thin movement of traffic was witnessed across the valley.
The JRL had urged the people observe shutdown on Feb 13, 14 to protest and resist any move to change demographic nature of Jammu and Kashmir by scrapping hereditary state subject law guaranteed under Article 35-A of Indian Constitution.
