A traders’ body, Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation (KTMF), on Monday held a protest demonstration at commercial hub Lal Chowk in Srinagar against the “killing spree” in Kashmir.
Scores of traders assembled near historic clock tower in Lal Chowk today morning and held a demonstration against the killings of four civilians in Shopian yesterday.
They demanded the government to take cognizance of the situation prevalent here and stop killings forthwith.
Later, the traders tried to take out a march towards United Nations headquarters at Sonwar here. However, huge posse of government forces already deployed near Polo view prevented them from marching ahead. Many traders were also detained by forces.
