Led by local MLA, Rafi Ahmad Mir, the protestors highlighted the problems faced by them in the area. A complete strike was also observed in the area and all the shops and business establishments remained closed due to which the tourists suffered huge inconvenience.
Various sections including Hotel Association, Ponnywalas, tour operators and photographers also participated in the strike.
