Kashmir businesses say they were warned of consequences by Indian police if they held shutdown to protest New Delhi's annexation of India-administered Kashmir two years ago on August 5
"Police on Tuesday told our market’s president that shops should remain open on Thursday. If someone fails to do so, he will be himself responsible for the consequences," a trader told"August 5 is a day when our special status was snatched away from us. Our conscience won't allow us to open shops," he said.
A contingent of police and paramilitary troopers stationed outside Geelani's residence has virtually left him incommunicado. The police do not let anyone, except the leader's family or close relatives, inside the house.Tensions have been high between Pakistan and India since New Delhi unilaterally changed the semi-autonomous status of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is split between Pakistan and India but claimed by both in its entirety.
