Life across the Kashmir Valley remained adversely affected for the second consecutive day due to a separatist-called protest shutdown on Monday. Separatist conglomerate, Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) has called for the protest shutdown to voice support for Article 35A.

The article has been challenged in the Supreme Court. A petition seeking abrogation of this article will be heard by the apex court on Monday. Shops, markets, public transport, other businesses and educational institutions remained closed in Srinagar and other district headquarters of the valley.
