Earlier, traders lowered their shutters on Saturday in Lal Chowk and adjoining markets as a mark of protest against attacks on Kashmiris in Jammu and outside.

Witnesses said that the shopkeepers downed their shutters at 3 pm following a shutdown call issued by all trade bodies of the valley.

The traders also took out a protest march to condemn the attacks on Kashmiris in Jammu and outside.

The protesters demanded the safety of Kashmiri traders and students which are being harassed outside the valley.
