Indian Kashmir under curfew on anniversary of hanging

Shops and other businesses were shut and traffic was thin in the main city of Srinagar and other towns, as a result of the curfew and after separatist groups called a strike across the region for the anniversary.

Mohammed Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri Muslim, was executed on February 9 last year and buried inside a prison in Delhi after being convicted over a deadly raid on the Indian parliament in 2001 that left ten people dead.
