Burhan Wani's death anniversary: Why should schools, shops be shut, common man suffer?

While Separatists across the Valley are observing the death anniversary of slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, his father today appealed for peace and harmony in the region.

Muzaffar Ahmad Wani said that he did not want any untoward incident or killing in the Valley. He appealed to all to maintain peace and harmony.

Anticipating trouble in the Valley on the first death anniversary of Burhan Wani, curfew has been imposed in several areas in the Kashmir Valley. The measure has been taken to ward off possible protests and incidents of violence.

Curfew has also been clamped in native town of Burhan Wani, Tral of Pulwama district, Shopian, Anantnag, Kulgam, Baramulla and Sopore among others.
