Strike disrupts normal life on polling day in Baramulla
Shops, business establishments and petrol pumps were shut while public transport remained off the roads in the constituency spread over three districts of Baramulla, Kupwara and Bandipora in response to the strike call given by Hurriyat Conference against the holding of elections.
The effect of the strike was accentuated due to a holiday declared by the Election Commission in connection with the polling. However, life remained unaffected in other parts of the valley including summer capital Srinagar as the separatists had restricted the strike call to north Kashmir districts.
