Kashmiri leaders called a general strike on Saturday to honour those killed in three summers of anti-India protests. Most shops, businesses and schools were closed Saturday while public transportation was not running in the main city of occupied Srinagar. Armed police and paramilitary officers patrolled the city's streets.
Police say Syed Ali Shah Geelani called for the strike after being placed under house arrest on Thursday to prevent him from leading any demonstrations against Indian rule.
