Kashmir Observes Shutdown To Mark Afzal Guru's Death Anniversary

Marking the eighth deathversary of Afzal Guru - the mastermind in Parliament attack - the Kashmir region observed a shutdown on February 9. While the public transport remained the least functioning, the fuel stations and business establishments remained closed in Srinagar.
