Srinagar: A complete shut down is being observed Kashmir today to protest the arrest of former Delhi University professor SAR Geelani and police action against JNU students.
The strike was called by various Kashmiri separatist groups who have termed the sedition charges against Mr Geelani and JNU students as preposterous.
Shops and business establishments are closed in all the 10 districts of Kashmir valley and traffic is very thin on the roads. Many separatists have either been arrested or put under house arrest.
A heavy security cover has been deployed at sensitive places to prevent protests in support of JNU students.
SAR Geelani was also arrested earlier morning on sedition and other charges for allegedly organising an event in support of Guru who was executed in 2013.
